Performance Like No Other
The RF 800mm exceeds the performance standards set by its predecessor, the EF 800mm. Featuring Fluorite, UD and Super UD lens elements with advanced coatings, the lens sets new and incredibly high standards in optical excellence.
Precise Control
An 800mm long focal length need not strike fear into the heart of a photographer when it comes to handling and control. Canon’s lightest and shortest 800mm L-series lens yet (when being compared to the likes of the Canon RF 800mm F/11 IS STM Lens), the RF 800mm’s weight distribution allows for precise control and accurate AF.
Classic L-series Design
With the priority on usability, the RF 800mm features a magnesium alloy casing and heat insulation paint that protects the precious optics inside. Dust and moisture are repelled by Fluorine on the outer elements.
Built for Canon EOS R
The RF 800mm lens features an aperture mechanism with 1/8th stop increments and a minimum focus distance of just 2.6m, these factors bring shooting flexibility. Couple these with the image stabilisation from your canon mirrorless camera, such as the Canon EOS R5, and you have a system that works seamlessly together to provide you with better stability and confidence.
Take Control
The RF 800mm F5.6 L features plenty of custom options to ensure the most efficient set up for your style of shooting. Two focus pre-sets and a customisable AF stop button allows you to fully customise your shooting experience.
Lens Construction
Built with 26 elements in 18 groups and featuring 2x Fluorite, 1x SUD and 1x UD, the lens features 9 diaphragm blades plus ASC and Super Spectra coatings to minimise ghosting and flaring.
