Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L Macro

I’m never disappointed dealing with them. Great staff

I use this with a Canon MR-14EX ring flash in manual mode to capture insects, spiders etc. I never imagined that a lens like this could exist. For the first time I've been able to use autofocus when capturing tiny things. No more rocking back and forward to fine focus. The resulting photographs have unbelievable detail. Buy one if you're into macro!

I've wanted a macro lens for years, but always struggled to justify it, given it's quite niche usage. (Yes it does make a nice portrait lens, however it's at the longer end of the focal length for that, and again quite specific to shooting facial portraits) Anyway, I'm happy I made the investment, it's quick and sharp like nothing else. The AF coupled with an R6 MK2 is lightning fast, really impressed. Is it cheap, no... Is anything cheap nowadays, definitely no, should that be a justification for high pricing, also no... But, it's a really nice quality lens, wirh my only gripe being that canon needs to get their act together and supply a decent protective case with it. If you buy a Sigma lens, you get a protective soft case, if you buy a canon lens you get a drawstring bag... That's not on.

Not used it for macro yet - but it's been good for portraits

On r5 mk1, it's incredible, fast AUTO FOCUS, superb colour rendition, super sharp, not used it for macro yet, but as a sports lens, it's mega, see image attached, never misses focus.
