About this product

The RF800mm F5.6 L IS USM expands the EOS R System for professional and advanced photographers looking for the excellent image quality of a Canon L series super-telephoto lens. Perfect for wildlife, motorsports, and more, the lens feature two large-diameter Fluorite elements, one Super UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) and one UD-glass element, and Air Sphere Coating for outstanding correction of color fringing and superb contrast and sharpness. At an 800mm focal length this lens enables you to achieve incredibly soft backgrounds and tremendous visual impact. Optical image stabilization provides for up to 4.5 stops of shake correction, delivering consistent and sharp results, and at its minimum focus distance, you can fill the frame with a subject as small as a sparrow. It’s compatible with both RF1.4x and RF2x Extenders for even more reach at focal lengths of 1120mm and 1600mm. At an impressively light 6.9 lbs., the RF800mm F5.6 L IS USM is versatile and lightweight making it easy to bring the action clear and up close.

Features
  • Compatible with most Canon EOS Mirrorless Cameras

    For use with your existing Canon EOS RF Mount Mirrorless Camera.

  • Telephoto lens provides detailed photos from a distance

    Magnify distant subjects and isolate a small field of view for vivid close-up shots.

  • 800mm focal length for intense magnification

    Ideal for wildlife photography and any photoshoot that prevents you from getting up close to your subject.

  • f/5.6 maximum aperture

    Provides clear landscapes images and beautiful distance shots even in the shade on cloudy days.

  • Outstanding image quality

    Optimized magnification optics increase the focal length while retaining the lightness and high levels of image quality achieved in the EF400mm f/2.8L IS III USM and EF600mm f/4L IS III USM lenses.

  • A combination of two large-diameter Fluorite elements, one Super UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) and one UD-glass element provides outstanding sharpness and contrast, even at maximum aperture.

  • A UD lens element positioned in the rear section of the lens provides excellent correction of the increased chromatic aberration generated by the magnification optics. This results in tack-sharp images with minimal color fringing in any shooting condition.

  • Durable L-series consturction with dust and water resistant design and fluorine coating

    Features a highly durable design for excellent performance even in inclement weather conditions. It delivers a dust- and water-resistant construction with seals around the mount, switches, rings and more.

  • To help maintain a clean lens, even after multiple lens changes in sub-optimal conditions, it has a specially designed fluorine coating on its front and rear surfaces. The coating helps to prevent water, oil, and other surface residue like fingerprints from sticking to the lens

  • Optical image stabilization with up to 4.5 stops* of shake correction

    Whether hand-held or mounted on a monopod (or other devices allowing mobile positioning), the lens’s Image Stabilization can deliver clear image detail in low-light situations or at lower ISOs.

  • 2.6 m/8.53 ft minimum focusing distance

    With a minimum focusing distance of approx. 8.53 ft./2.6m, it helps you get close to your subjects. At its closest focus distance, users can fill the frame with a subject roughly the size of a sparrow.

  • Accommodates 52mm filters

  • .34X maximum magnification

  • Super Spectra Coating (SSC) and Air Sphere Coating (ASC)

    The lens features Canon's Super Spectra Coating (SSC) that helps maintain overall image quality and color fidelity, as well as Air Sphere Coating (ASC), which significantly helps to reduce the occurrence of lens flare and ghosting.

  • 9-blade Circular Aperture for Beautiful, Soft Backgrounds.

    Makes it capable of gorgeous bokeh, achieving evocative out-of-focus areas and soft backgrounds. With rounded rendering of background blur, it helps create intimacy and intensity in both photos and videos for impactful results.

  • Customizable electronic focus ring with manual focus capability during SERVO AF

    The lens’s large manual focus ring is located directly on the lens barrel and allows you to select from three different manual focus speed levels, to adjust the focus ring rotation to your desired preference.

  • The “1” position on the M.Focus Speed switch provides the fastest sensitivity (a small amount of focus ring rotation provides significant focus change in the lens); settings 2 and 3 reduce this sensitivity, allowing for finer manual focus adjustments.

  • this can help whether you need a slow speed to switch between someone’s eyes in a distant profile, or a fast speed to dial in on different birds in a large, swiftly moving flock

  • Compatible with Canon RF1.4X & 2X Extenders

    To help get you even closer to distant subjects, attach the compatible Extender RF1.4x or Extender RF2x to the lens. Expand effective telephoto power to 1120mm at f/8 with the Extender RF1.4x, or to an effective 1600mm at f/11 using the Extender RF2x.

  • The extenders allow even more telephoto reach when it’s needed yet allow the user to convert back to an f/5.6 lens for low-light situations by simply removing the extender.

  • Two focus presets available

    Memorize one - or two - different focus distances and immediately return to either one with a slight turn of the len's playback ring on the lens barrel.

  • A wildlife photographer, for example, can pre-focus on two different spots where he or she expects wildlife to appear, and immediately jump to either memorized position via the playback ring. Full AF or manual focus operation remains available, as well.
