The Spherical Aberration Control can make some interesting shots. Is it possible to rotate that ring during exposure?View attachment 215921View attachment 215922View attachment 215923View attachment 215924View attachment 215925

The RF 100 f2,8 is a wonderful lens! And, unlike the EF 100 L, dead sharp even at infinity setting!
Forgot to say they're elegant shots - both the normal and aberration images.

Will Canon's RF 180mm macro lens also come with a long exposure tripod shake control feature?
Have you tried focus stacking with the harsher boke setting?
The only negative I've heard is the focus shifting, but it doesn't happen with manual, right?

Nope, I never use a tripod, despite owning 6 of them, bought in my foolish youth. All my pictures, including macros, are done "on the run", wife lacking patience.
And the RF 180 macro doesn't exist yet, will it ever? I hope so! It almost certainly will get OIS, and hopefully tripod shake control. But the best tripod shake control still is a 5-8 kilo tripod with adequate head.
Focus shift with RF 100 L: no issues yet, since I'm either using it fully open or at F 8-16. Who would use a macro at 1,4X F4/5,6 ??? Not very often, I guess.
When this lens was introduced, and everybody mentioned the focus shift, I was sure I'd never buy it. But, as we say in French, only imbeciles don't change their mind... (Il n'y a que les imbeciles qui ne changent pas d'avis).

When focus stacking, I'll use 5.6 because the overall image quality seems best around there. For traditional single images, It is better wide open or stopped down further.

Monday morning was quite frosty and foggy, so I wandered to a patch of Milkweed pods and seeds.
This shot was taken before the morning sun reached the seed.
Here is the same seed once the sunlight hit. Please let me know of any preferences.

Thanks, Click! It was pleasant, quiet morning.
And I only got one tick bite while shooting!
I'm not posting the images of frost covered ticks on Milkweed plants. Since I was using the 5D IV, I didn't realize those tiny spots were alive. Once viewed on a monitor, I realized and it was time for a tick check!

Thank you for your humor and encouraging comment.You have to talk to her to see if she's wild or not.
Seriously now, I really like that last photo.
