Canon RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM
A highly versatile mid-range prime for Canon RF — the RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM combines a classic portrait focal length with genuine 0.5x macro capability, five stops of image stabilisation, and excellent optical quality. At 500g and under £600 it sits between the affordable RF 50mm f/1.8 and the pro-grade RF 85mm f/1.2L, making it the smart choice for photographers who want quality without the bulk or the price tag. The IS system means sharp handheld shots are achievable at slower shutter speeds, and the 0.5x macro capability opens up close-up work that a standard portrait prime cannot touch.
GearFrame's Take
Portrait prime, close-up lens, and IS-equipped workhorse in one body — the RF 85mm f/2 punches well above its price for Canon RF shooters.
