Canon has just officially announced the new Canon RF 100mm F2.8L Macro IS USM lens. It is the first macro lens for Canon’s full-frame mirrorless lineup. This medium telephoto lens has a minimum focus distance of 26cm (10″) and a maximum magnification of 1.4x. Optically, Canon RF 100mm F2.8L lens has 17 elements in 13 groups. Canon’s ‘Super Spectra Coating’ reduces flare and ghosting. The camera’s focusing group is moved by two Nano USM motors. A spherical aberration control dial allows users to adjust the appearance of bokeh and the overall softness of the image.As with all L-series lenses, the 100mm is sealed against dust and moisture, and features a fluorine coat on the front element to repel oil and water.
