CANON RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM

Canon RF 100-400mm f / 5.6-8 IS USM lens

A versatile telephoto zoom lens with a portable form factor, the Canon RF 100-400mm f / 5.6-8 IS USM is a nimble lens perfect for wildlife, sports, and travel shots. With extended range, this zoom features super telephoto reach in a relatively sleek, lightweight design along with support for Coordinated IS to help control up to 6 stops of camera shake and Nano USM AF to promote faster focusing performance.
Optically, the lens uses specialized elements to control a variety of aberrations and produce images with high sharpness and clarity throughout the zoom range. Close focus is also possible, with a maximum magnification of 0.41x at the 400mm position, for close-up photography of subjects as small as a credit card.
The long-range telephoto zoom lens is designed for use with full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras.
The modest maximum aperture range of f / 5.6-8 promotes a lightweight and relatively compact form factor.
An ultra-low dispersion element appears at the front of the optical design and helps reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing throughout the zoom range.
An aspherical element helps control distortion and promotes a high degree of sharpness.
Super Spectra Coating has been applied to minimize flare and ghosting to improve contrast and color fidelity when working in bright lighting conditions.
An Optical Image Stabilizer helps minimize the appearance of camera shake by 5.5 stops to allow better work in low light conditions and slower shutter speeds. Additionally, when working with select cameras, up to 6 stabilization stops may be available with Coordinated Optical Image Stabilization and In-Body Image Stabilization.
The Nano USM system uses a ring-type USM mechanism and an STM mechanism to realize fast and accurate focusing that is also smooth and near-silent to suit photo and video applications. This focus system also allows full-time manual focus control when working in one-shot AF mode.
Close focus capabilities are available throughout the zoom range, with a maximum magnification of 0.41x available at the 400mm position and a minimum focusing distance of 2.9 'possible at the 200mm position.
The rounded 9-blade diaphragm contributes to pleasant bokeh quality.
The configurable control ring can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation.
Compatible with the optional Extender RF 1.4x and Extender RF 2x teleconverters to further increase the effective focal length.
