Canon has announced a new prime lens for its RF mount, the 135mm f/1.8 L IS USM, a lens it promises achieves beautiful and “generous” bokeh and is ideal for both portraiture and sports photography.
The lens is positioned as a large-diameter optic that is ideal for creating subject separation via a smooth and pleasant background defocus. The 135mm f/1.8 L IS USM is equipped with both a linear-style autofocus motor as well as optical image stabilization that works in tandem with the in-body image stabilization found in many RF-mount cameras.
Below are a few sample photos captured with the 135mm f/1.8 L IS USM with a Canon EOS R6 Mark II:
