Canon RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM — full-frame RF-mount prime with 1:2 magnification, 5-stop Hybrid IS, silent STM AF, and a 9-blade bokeh diaphragm.

The **Canon RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM** is a versatile full-frame prime lens built for Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras, delivering a flattering short-telephoto perspective ideal for portraits, everyday photography, and close-up macro work. With a bright f/2 maximum aperture and a minimum focusing distance of just 1.15 ft, it strikes an exceptional balance between subject isolation, background blur, and intimate close-up capability at 1:2 magnification.

Canon’s built-in **Optical Image Stabilizer with Hybrid IS** suppresses up to five stops of camera shake — including the shift-type movements critical during macro shooting — while the smooth, near-silent **STM stepping motor** ensures confident autofocus for both stills and video. A customizable Control Ring adds intuitive, fingertip control over aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation directly from the lens barrel.

### Key features

- **1:2 Macro Magnification at 1.15 ft:** Get impressively close to your subjects, revealing fine detail in flowers, insects, products, and textures that standard lenses simply cannot capture.

- **5-Stop Hybrid Image Stabilization:** Optical IS combined with Hybrid IS corrects both angular and shift-type camera movements, delivering sharp, blur-free results in low light and at close focusing distances.

- **Bright f/2 Aperture for Beautiful Bokeh:** The modest-yet-fast maximum aperture enables pleasing background separation in available light, enhanced further by a rounded 9-blade diaphragm for smooth, creamy out-of-focus rendering.

- **Silent STM Autofocus for Stills and Video:** The stepping motor delivers fast, smooth, and near-silent AF performance, making this lens equally at home shooting video or candid photography where noise matters.

- **UD Element for Exceptional Clarity:** A single Ultra Low Dispersion glass element controls chromatic aberration and colour fringing, ensuring edge-to-edge sharpness and high contrast across the full frame.

- **Customizable Control Ring:** Assign aperture, ISO, or exposure compensation to the lens-mounted Control Ring for fast, tactile adjustments without breaking your shooting flow.

### Frequently asked questions

**Is the Canon RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM suitable for portrait photography as well as macro?**
Yes. The 85mm focal length is a classic portrait length on full-frame cameras, offering a flattering perspective and subject compression. The f/2 aperture and 9-blade rounded diaphragm produce attractive background blur (bokeh), while the 1:2 macro capability means the same lens can switch seamlessly to detailed close-up work.

**How effective is the image stabilization, and does it help during close-up shooting?**
The lens features a dual-mode stabilisation system: standard Optical IS reduces camera shake by up to 5 stops, while Hybrid IS additionally compensates for shift-type movements that become particularly problematic at close focusing distances — making it especially valuable for handheld macro photography.

**Which Canon cameras is this lens compatible with?**
The Canon RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM is designed exclusively for Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras, covering the full-frame format. It is compatible with bodies such as the Canon EOS R, R5, R6, R8, and R50 series. It cannot be used on EF or EF-S mount cameras without an adapter.
