Canon RF 800mm f/5.6 L IS USM Lens

The Canon RF 800mm f/5.6 L IS USM is an impressive prime meshing top-of-the-line performance with an updated compact and lightweight design. Ideal for sports, wildlife, and journalism applications, this long lens offers a distinctly tight field of view for isolating distant subjects, along with responsive AF and image stabilization, reliable weather-sealing, and intuitive handling for dependable use in fast-paced situations. Two fluorite, one Super Ultra Low-Dispersion (UD), and one UD element virtually eliminate chromatic aberrations for outstanding clarity and color accuracy, void of chromatic aberrations or fringing. Both Air Sphere and Super Spectra Coatings improve image quality by maintaining high contrast and color accuracy while reducing lens flare and ghosting when working in strong lighting conditions. Impressively close 8.5' minimum focusing distance, and a maximum magnification of 0.34x, suit working with nearby subjects, such as close-range wildlife, birds, and athletes. Focus range limiter improves responsiveness by constraining the usable focusing range. Relatively lightweight and compact, this 800mm f/5.6 lens weighs 6.9 lb and measures 17"-long, making it realistic to use atop a monopod or even handheld for short periods of time. Fluorine coating on front element helps repel moisture, dust, and fingerprints and is also easier to clean.
