Pros and cons

According to our camera lens expert

  • The fixed focal length of 600mm lets you capture objects closely from a distance.
  • The 5-stop image stabilization ensures sharper photos with longer shutter speeds.
  • With the splash proof design of the lens, you can continue photographing in bad weather conditions.
  • With the fixed f/11 aperture, the lens is less suitable for worse lighting situations.
  • Due to the weight of 930g, a tripod is recommended for longer usage.

Description

The Canon RF 600mm f/11 IS STM is a super telephoto lens for your Canon mirrorless camera, which is made for photographing wild animals from a distance. The enormous fixed focal length of 600mm lets you capture objects closely from afar. This way, you can stay away from the wild animals and still get them in frame well. Thanks to the 5-stop image stabilization, you can take photographs with longer shutter speeds out of hand and still have sharp photos. You can use the Control Ring on the lens for extra control over your shutter speed, aperture, and ISO values. With the splash proof design of the lens, you can continue photographing in bad weather conditions.

A lens to really "discover"!

With a CANON Eos Rp, the lens doesn't give all its qualities... so still have to wait for the delivery of the Canon Eos R5, with IBIS this must really be a fantastic lens. Even on the Eos Rp, you can use this lens by hand: razor-sharp photos. With the f=11, this lens does need "a lot of light".
