- Key Specs
- Lens Mount Compatibility: Canon EF-S
- Lens Type: Telephoto Zoom
- Minimum Focal Length: 55 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 250 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/5.6 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)

- Minimum Focus Distance: 33.6 inches
- Maximum Aperture: f/5.6 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- Minimum Aperture: f/4 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Focal Length 35mm Film Equivalent: 55-250mm (The focal length of the lens that provides the same field of view as a 35mm film camera.)
- Constant Aperture: false (Has a fixed aperture (typically expressed in f-numbers), which means the barrel of the lens does not extend or retract when the focal length changes.)

Perfect for wildlife, sports, travel and more, the RF100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM is a compact, lightweight telephoto lens for EOS R Series cameras, offering a versatile zoom range that brings subjects closer with ease. The RF100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM is similar in size to the EF 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 IS II USM lens, and not only reaches to 400mm, but also has fast Nano USM focusing and up to 6 stops of Coordinated IS when used in combination with an EOS R series camera featuring In-body Image Stabilization, like the EOS R5 and EOS R6, or 5.5 stops with an EOS R/RP camera. Using a single Ultra Low Dispersion lens element towards the front of the lens group corrects chromatic aberration throughout the entire zoom range, making your images look crisp and colorful with minimal color blur. The RF100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM lens can also accept both the RF1.4x and RF2x tele extenders giving you the effective maximum focal length of 560mm and 800mm respectively. With a control ring that allows for quick setting changes, including shutter speed and aperture, the RF100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM lens puts quality, convenience and control in your hands.
Compact and lightweight 4x telephoto zoom lens ideal for shooting sports, portraits, and wildlife. The newly developed Micro makes auto focusing quicker and quieter. The improved zoom mechanism also makes zooming smoother. The front part of the zoom ring now sports a silver ring for a luxury touch.
The Canon RF75-300mm F4.5-6 brings approachability to zoom shooting. An impressive zoom range of 75-300mm (approx. 120-480mm with an APS-C camera) allows you to bring your subject close when you physically can’t get closer to them, like when watching sports or photographing wildlife. The lens itself is portable and lightweight for a zoom lens of this range making it easy to bring with you on your outings. For a professional look to your images, nothing matches the compression and bokeh you get from a long zoom lens.

“A Must-Have Telephoto Lens: Outstanding Quality f
The Canon EF-S 55–250mm has been one of the most impressive and budget-friendly telephoto lenses I’ve used. Despite its lightweight and compact build, it delivers excellent image quality—photos come out sharp, with pleasing color and contrast. The STM autofocus is fast, smooth, and nearly silent, making it a great choice for both photography and video.
