Product information

Pros and cons

According to our camera lens expert

  • The 100-500mm telephoto lens is suitable for photographing athletes and wildlife from a great distance.
  • Thanks to the 5-stop image stabilization, you can shoot with slower shutter speeds.
  • The fast and silent autofocus ensures your subject isn't startled while shooting.
  • The lens has no fixed aperture, so the light intensity decreases when you zoom in.
  • Due to the weight of 2322g, a tripod is recommended for extended use.

Description

The Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM is a versatile telephoto lens for your Canon full frame mirrorless camera. Thanks to its huge zoom range of up to 500mm, you can capture athletes and animals from a distance. You do this silently as well, thanks to the fast and silent Dual Nano USM autofocus motor. And thanks to the 5-stop image stabilization, you can photograph freehand with slower shutter times. This ensures sharp pictures in dark situations. Canon has added UD lens elements and applied ASC coatings for high contrast and sharpness. In addition, use the Control Ring on the lens for extra control over your shutter speed, aperture, and ISO value. The lens has a splash proof design, so you can also use it in bad weather conditions.
