Product Description

Canon RF 100-500mm f4.5-7.1L IS USM Lens

Introducing the Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM Lens, a cutting-edge telephoto zoom lens that delivers exceptional performance, whether you're capturing wildlife, sports, or stunning landscapes. Engineered to meet the high standards of professional photographers, this lens offers an incredible 100-500mm focal range, providing unmatched versatility for full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras.

Why Choose the Canon RF 100-500mm Lens?

  1. Incredible Zoom Power and Precision

    • With its expansive focal range, from 100mm to a super-telephoto 500mm, you can capture distant subjects with stunning clarity. The lens’s high-performance optics include six Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) elements and one Super UD element, minimizing chromatic aberrations for razor-sharp images with accurate colors across the zoom range.
  2. Advanced Optical Image Stabilization

    • Get sharp, blur-free shots even in low-light conditions or while shooting handheld. The built-in Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) offers up to five stops of stabilization, and you can choose from three IS modes, including one designed specifically for panning shots—perfect for action photography.
  3. Lightning-Fast, Silent Autofocus

    • The Dual Nano USM focus system combines the best of both worlds: the speed and accuracy of a ring-type USM motor with the smooth, silent operation of an STM mechanism. Whether you're shooting stills or video, this system ensures rapid, precise, and quiet focusing, with the added benefit of full-time manual focus override.
  4. Customizable Control and Superior Handling

    • The Configurable Control Ring gives you direct, intuitive access to exposure settings such as aperture, ISO, or exposure compensation, allowing you to make real-time adjustments without taking your eye off the subject. The rotation-type zoom ring also features torque adjustment, letting you fine-tune the zoom action for more fluid handling, while preventing accidental lens extension.
  5. Durability and Weather Resistance

    • Built to withstand the elements, the L-series weather-sealed design ensures the lens is dust- and moisture-resistant, making it ideal for outdoor photography in challenging environments. A fluorine coating on the front and rear elements also repels smudges and fingerprints, ensuring easy cleaning for consistent image quality.
  6. Extended Creative Possibilities

    • Push your telephoto reach even further with optional RF 1.4x and 2x extenders, expanding your focal length up to an impressive 1000mm! Capture distant details with greater precision, perfect for wildlife or sports photography where every inch of reach counts.
