Description
The Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM is a short-to-super-telephoto zoom for Canon’s RF mount, in a sleek, portable form factor with up to 5 stops of image stabilisation.
Optics
Six UD elements and one Super UD element minimise chromatic aberration and colour fringing across the zoom range. Three IS modes cover standard single-shot, panning and exposure-only stabilisation.
Handling
A dual Nano USM system gives fast, near-silent autofocus with full-time manual override, and a configurable control ring adjusts aperture, ISO or exposure compensation directly from the lens. Weather-resistant construction with a fluorine coating on the front and rear elements handles demanding conditions, and a torque-adjustable zoom ring fine-tunes handling feel. The lens is compatible with RF 1.4x and 2x teleconverters within the 300-500mm range, further extending reach.
