This is a lightweight compact wide-angle single-focal-length macro lens introduced as the first RF lens designed for the EOS R system. It supports half-macro photography with a magnification of up to 0.5x, helping the photographer to capture the finest details of a subject in high definition. It delivers excellent resolution from the fully open aperture setting, and its f/1.8 maximum aperture brightness and 9-blade circular aperture also allow users to achieve beautiful bokeh effects. The image stabilization mechanism is as effective at reducing camera-shake blur as a 5-stop increase in shutter speed*. The camera also features Hybrid IS, which simultaneously compensates for angular shake and shift shake, making it especially effective for macro photography. The lens is suitable for hand-held macro photos, landscape photos, and casual snapshots.
*When used with EOS R camera. Based on CIPA standards. Effective in the yaw and pitch directions only.
