Canon RF 135mm f/1.8L IS USM
This is a full-frame prime lens for Canon RF, covering 135 mm and a maximum aperture of f/1.8. It weighs 935 g, is weather-sealed and includes optical stabilization, and was released in 2022. That combination suits portrait and low-light photography.
It is a high-performance telephoto prime lens designed for Canon's RF-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. Its bright f/1.8 maximum aperture allows for exceptional low-light performance and the creation of a shallow depth of field, making it ideal for portrait photography. The lens features an advanced optical design with 17 elements in 12 groups, including three Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) elements to minimize chromatic aberrations and enhance image clarity. The built-in Optical Image Stabilizer provides up to 5.5 stops of shake correction, which can be extended to 8 stops when paired with EOS R series cameras featuring In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS). The Nano USM autofocus system ensures fast, smooth, and quiet focusing, suitable for both still photography and video recording. Additionally, the lens includes customizable control rings and lens function buttons for enhanced operational flexibility. Its robust L-series construction with weather sealing ensures durability and reliability in various shooting conditions.
