An 85mm lens is the classic portrait focal length, flattering facial features and separating the subject from its surroundings, and the RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM makes it affordable on Canon’s mirrorless system. The f/2 aperture renders soft backgrounds through nine rounded blades and keeps shutter speeds usable in dim venues.
It doubles as a half-life-size macro lens. Focusing down to 0.35m for 0.5x magnification, it captures rings, makeup details, flowers and small products, which makes it particularly useful for wedding and beauty photographers who want detail shots without carrying a dedicated macro lens.
Optical image stabilization corrects up to 5 stops on its own and up to 8 stops when combined with in-body stabilization on bodies such as the EOS R5, while the STM motor focuses smoothly for video. At 500g with a 67mm filter thread, it is compact enough for all-day carry.
