Zoom In To Your Next Adventure: New Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens

lazy

The Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM Lens is a small, lightweight telephoto lens for EOS R Series cameras that offers a flexible zoom range that brings objects closer with ease. It’s ideal for wildlife, sports, travel, and more. The Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM Lens is similar in size to the EF 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 IS II USM lens, but it also has fast Nano USM focusing and up to 6 stops of Coordinated IS when used with an EOS R series camera with In-body Image Stabilization, such as the EOS R5 and EOS R6, or 5.5 stops when used with an EOS R/RP camera.

The use of a single Ultra-Low Dispersion lens element towards the front of the lens group corrects chromatic aberration across the zoom range, resulting in sharp, vivid pictures with little colour blur. Both the RF 1.4x and RF 2x tele extenders may be used with the Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM Lens, giving you an effective maximum focal length of 560mm and 800mm, respectively. The Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM Lens puts quality, convenience, and control in your hands with a control ring that enables rapid setting changes, including shutter speed and aperture.
