Canon RF 85mm f/2 MACRO STM

The Canon RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM is a modern portrait prime that combines a flattering short-telephoto field of view with 0.5x macro capability and image stabilization, making it a versatile tool for both portraits and close-up work. Its f/2 maximum aperture balances background separation with compactness, while IS lets photographers shoot handheld at slower shutter speeds for macro or low-light scenes. The STM autofocus ensures smooth, quiet focusing for video, and optical design choices aim to deliver pleasing bokeh and accurate rendering of skin tones. For photographers who want a single lens that covers portraiture and short-reach macro work without excessive bulk, the RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM is a compelling, multipurpose choice.
