Why should I not buy the EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro (non L) for EOS R?

Canon's non-IS 100mm f/2.8 macro is a darn nice lens with superb optical characteristics. I use mine for macro work and definitely wish I had opted for the IS version. Since you are shooting flash portraits it isn't such a key factor. Still, I would still opt for IS for extra stability in any situation.

Note: if it doesn't come with a lens hood, buy one for the usual reasons.
