 Re: EF 100L Macro vs RF 100L Macro (IS Question) | |
The EF 100 L is the only standard EF lens I've kept. The continuous IS is a bit annoying but not extremely so. One of the features of the R7 that I like is the convenient position of the on/off switch which I can use instead of waiting for sleep. The AF in servo mode is also noticeable but doesn't seem to affect performance.
The IS and AF noise doesn't seem as noticeable with the EF-S STM lenses I've kept. If you don't mind buying used, the EF-S 35 and 60 macros work well on my R7. Both go 1:1. The 35 has a built-in ring light to compensate for its close working distance. I'm glad I've kept my 60 macro because the IBIS works well with it. The AF is a bit noisy, like the 100 but not extreme. It's fairly compact even with adapter and offers f2.8 at a nice ~100 mm effective FL. IBIS makes it a nice hand held lens and its still very sharp for both macro and distance. I've gotten some nice mosquito on flower images.
I just purchased a Newer brand EF-RF adapter that has a small removable tripod mount. This works well with the 100 and 60 macros and has a good fit. Without the tripod mount it is an oz lighter than the Canon.
