FAQs:

What does the SA (bokeh) control ring actually do?

It shifts spherical aberration to make backgrounds softer and more glowing (great for portraits) or foregrounds/backgrounds crisper (great for product/macro).

Can I really hand-hold 1.4× macro shots?

Yes – 8-stop Hybrid IS is specifically designed for close-up work and delivers tack-sharp results even at slow shutter speeds.

Is it good for portraits as well as macro?

Absolutely – many call it the best 100 mm portrait lens ever, thanks to f/2.8 and the SA ring.

Is the lens weather-sealed?

Fully L-series sealed – perfect for outdoor macro in light rain or morning dew.

Will it work on APS-C bodies (R7/R10)?

Yes – becomes a ~160 mm 1.4× macro with the same stunning performance and stabilization.
