Lock on to distant subjects with ease and put them right in the centre of your frame with this stunning RF-series super telephoto lens. With a powerful 800mm reach, a 4.5-stop¹ Optical Image Stabiliser and an impressive f/5.6 maximum aperture along with lightweight and precise handling, it is a superb wildlife photography lens and also ideal for sports and faraway subjects. Because it’s a professional telephoto, it’s engineered to rigorous high standards and also offers customisable focus settings plus an aperture mechanism with 1/8th stop increments for precise exposure control. A minimum focus distance of 2.6 m brings superior shooting flexibility, too, while the IS system works with in-body IS on compatible EOS R-series cameras for even better stability.
