Canon RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM Lens

Dual-Purpose Brilliance

The Canon RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM is a full-frame prime lens that masterfully blends portrait elegance with macro precision. Designed for Canon’s RF mount mirrorless cameras, it offers a flattering focal length and close-up capabilities in one compact, affordable package.

Macro Capability

With a minimum focusing distance and a maximum magnification, this lens excels at capturing fine details—whether it’s Jewlery, flowers, or expressive facial features. It’s not a true 1:1 macro, but its 1:2 ratio is more than sufficient for most creative close-ups.

Portrait Perfection

The 85mm focal length is ideal for portraits, offering natural compression and flattering perspective. The f/2 aperture delivers beautiful background blur, enhanced by 9 rounded diaphragm blades for creamy bokeh and soft transitions.

Image Stabilization

Built-in Optical Image Stabilization provides up to 5 stops of shake correction—or up to 8 stops when paired with EOS R5/R6 bodies—making handheld shooting remarkably stable, even in low light or at close range.

Optical & Mechanical Design

• 12 elements in 11 groups, including one UD element for reduced chromatic aberration
  
  
• Super Spectra Coating to minimize flare and ghosting
