Canon RF 135mm F/1.8 IS USM Lens
Great for portraits with a medium telephoto perspective, The RF 135 f/1.8L IS USM allows you to take full advantage of the large f/1.8 aperture, with an extremely shallow depth of field and beautiful background blur. Shoot with confidence even when light levels drop. The RF 135 f/1.8L IS USM has 5.5 stop Image Stabilization and in conjunction with selected EOS R series camera, can achieve up to 8.0 stops coordinated control IS. Shoot handheld in dim light or while using slower shutter speeds without the need of a tripod. The RF 135 f/1.8L IS USM features a lens control ring for customisable control over shutter speed, ISO or exposure compensation. The easy-to-identify textured surface gives you tangible feedback to adjust while looking through the viewfinder and concentrating on your subject.

The RF 135 f/1.8L IS USM has been carefully crafted with weather-sealing and fluorine coatings to guard against waterdrops and dust, helping keep this powerful lens safeguarded wherever you go.
