    • Minimum Focal Length: 1000 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 Aperture: f/8 (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.)

The RF1200mm F8 L IS USM super-telephoto, fixed focal length lens is the longest telephoto lens among Canon's EOS R System lineup†, making it a terrific choice for any long-distance application such as outdoor sports, wildlife, news photojournalism, and more where you want to create super-tele impact. Two large-diameter Fluorite elements, one Super UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) and one UD-glass element, and Air Sphere Coating combine for superb optical performance. The 1200mm focal length naturally provides incredibly soft backgrounds. Its compatibility with both RF1.4x and RF2x Extenders increases your effective focal length to a staggering 1680mm and 2400mm. Finally, it's image stabilized, providing up to 4 stops of optical correction for camera shake. At 7.4 lbs., the RF1200mm F8 L IS USM is surprisingly lightweight, giving it incredible handling ease along with its powerful super-telephoto capabilities.

  • 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.
  • f/8 maximum aperture: Capture the beauty of landscape scenes that present a level depth of field to showcase the whole image as sharp as possible.
  • Outstanding image quality: Optimized magnification optics increase the focal length while retaining nearly the same light weight, portability and high levels of image quality achieved in the RF600mm F4 L IS USM lens.
  • 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.
  • Optical image stabilization with up to 4 stops* of shake correction: This helps provide reliable monopod-mounted — or even hand-held, for some users —performance and clear image detail in low-light situations or at lower ISOs.
  • 4.3 m/14.1 ft minimum focusing distance: With a minimum focusing distance of approx. 14.1 ft./4.3 m., the RF1200mm F8 L IS USM lens helps you get close to your subjects. At its closest focus distance, users can fill the frame with a subject smaller than a regulation, pro-sized US football.
  • 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.: Capable of gorgeous bokeh, achieving evocative out of focus areas and soft backgrounds. Delivering more rounded background blur, the 9-blade circular aperture helps create intimacy and intensity in background and foreground bokeh.
  • Customizable electronic focus ring with manual focus capability during SERVO AF: Featuring a customizable electronic manual focus ring on the lens barrel, allows you to select from three different speed levels to adjust manual focus to your desired preference.
  • Compatible with Canon RF1.4X & 2X Extenders: Expands effective telephoto power to 1680mm at f/11 with the Extender RF1.4x, or to effective 2400mm at f/16 using the Extender RF2x.
  • Two focus presets available: Quickly select between one or two memorized focus distances, with focus presets. Especially useful for fixed-position sports photography, you can focus upon and memorize two separate focus distances. Then, with a simple twist of the playback ring, immediately jump back.
