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.

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.
Capture clear shots consistently with this Canon RF standard zoom lens. Optical image correction provides up to five stops of shake correction for clean shots, and the Center Macro Focus helps capture photos as close as an inch away. This Canon RF standard zoom lens features an optical control ring that lets you quickly change the settings.

Great starter zoom lens for portraits and everyday
I’ve been loving using the RF 55–210mm lens as part of my photography setup. It’s a great option for beginners who want to experiment with a zoom lens without needing something heavy-duty for events or professional work. It’s been perfect for portraits, casual shoots, and learning how different focal lengths affect your photos. The lens is lightweight, easy to handle, and pairs really well with a beginner camera kit, which makes shooting feel comfortable and fun. If you’re just starting out in photography and don’t need a high-powered zoom for events or fast-paced environments, this lens is a great choice. It’s been an excellent addition to my starter kit and I’ve really enjoyed using it.

Excellent lense for a reasonable price!
I cannot sing this lense praises enough. While not perfect, it truly shines in well light areas (aka outdoor settings), and holds up well in areas without great lighting. The backgroung blur you can achive with this lense rivals lenses 7x its price. Simply put, if you are getting into photograpy like me (specially when traveling) or are a veteran photographer, this is a must pick up!
