Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM Lens

The Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM is a super-telephoto lens ideal for bird, wildlife, outdoor sports, and aviation photography, or scenario where you just want to bring your subject closer. With an impressive 800mm focal length and STM focusing system quickly and quietly focus and track your elusive subjects out in nature. The Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM lens comes with built-in optical image stabilization system with up to 4 stops of shake correction that allows for comfortable hand-held shooting or shooting with a monopod. When used with optional RF 1.4x or 2.0x teleconverters, this super-telephoto lens’ focal length can be increased to an astonishing 1120mm or 1600mm range respectively.

Compact and Lightweight Telephoto RF Lens

Thanks to a compact design, the RF 800mm f/11 IS STM Super-Telephoto Lens is more portable than its EF counterparts in this category. The lens uses gapless dual-layered diffractive optical elements that help reduce chromatic aberration to achieve clear images with minimal to no color fringing, even at a fixed aperture of f/11. This means detailed results of landscapes and more, even from a distance. Plus, only one DO lens has the optical characteristics of multiple lenses, reducing the count of elements and thus contributing to the lens’ lightweight construction.

Lead Screw-Type STM Enables Smooth Autofocusing

This RF 800mm f/11 Super-Telephoto Lens incorporates a lead screw-type STM focus motor that helps achieve smooth and quiet autofocus whether you're capturing stills or tracking a subject while recording videos. The virtually near-silent operation is ideal when you’re shooting in environments where silence is extremely important like especially when capturing wildlife. The STM motor significantly reduces the chance of your subject being disturbed.

Optical Image Stabilization

Steady and clear images are difficult to achieve especially when shooting with a super-telephoto lens. Thanks to the built-in powerful optical image stabilization with up to 4 stops of shake correction, the RF800mm Lens gives you more confidence. It significantly helps reduce camera shake whether you’re shooting handheld or with a monopod

Locking Lens Barrel Design

A retractable lens barrel when not shooting contributes to the lens’ compact design for easy handling during transportation. When you're ready to shoot, just unlock to extend the lens barrel, lock it in place for stability and capture your shots.

Control Ring for Direct Setting Changes

Like all RF lenses, the RF 800mm lens also comes with a customizable control ring that is easily accessible for settings like shutter speed, aperture and ISO while still looking through the viewfinder.
