The Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM Lens is a compact and affordable telephoto zoom lens designed for Canon RF mirrorless cameras. It delivers strong 100–400mm reach in a lightweight body, making it ideal for wildlife, safari, sports, and travel photography.
It is especially popular among photographers who want long reach without investing in heavy professional L-series telephoto lenses.
A versatile telephoto-zoom with a portable form factor, the Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM is a nimble lens perfect for wildlife, sports, and travel shooting. With extended range, this zoom packs super-telephoto reach into a relatively sleek, lightweight design along with support for Coordinated IS to help control up to 6 stops of camera shake and Nano USM AF to promote faster focusing performance.
Optically, the lens uses specialized elements to control a variety of aberrations and produce images with high sharpness and clarity throughout the zoom range. Close-focusing performance is also possible, with a maximum magnification of 0.41x at the 400mm position, for close-up shooting of subjects as small as a credit card.
