Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM Lens

The Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM lens encompasses a range of telephoto focal lengths, effectively bridging the gap between short and super-telephoto options while maintaining a compact and lightweight design. Its relatively modest maximum aperture contributes to its portability, making it ideal for handheld and casual photography. The lens is equipped with optical image stabilization, which enhances stability for both photos and videos by compensating for camera shake by up to five stops, particularly beneficial in challenging lighting situations. Furthermore, the lens boasts an advanced optical configuration that incorporates several Super UD and UD elements, significantly minimizing chromatic aberrations and color fringing across the entire zoom range, thereby ensuring exceptional clarity and color fidelity.

Complementing its superior optical features is the Dual Nano USM autofocus system, which provides rapid and nearly silent focusing capabilities, along with full-time manual focus override. The lens design also includes a distinctive Control Ring, allowing for intuitive adjustments to exposure settings directly from the lens. Additionally, the rotating zoom ring is equipped with torque adjustment, enabling users to customize the lens's feel to their preference. This 100-500mm lens is also designed to withstand adverse weather conditions, featuring weather sealing and a fluorine coating to safeguard the front and rear elements.

• Versatile telephoto zoom lens is designed for use with full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras.
  
  
• Six UD (Ultra-Low Dispersion) elements and one Super UD element help to minimize chromatic aberrations and color fringing in order to provide greater clarity and color accuracy.
  
  
• An Optical Image Stabilizer helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake by five stops to better enable working in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds. Three distinct IS modes are available: standard single-shot mode, a panning-optimized mode, and a mode that only activates the Image Stabilizer during the exposure.
  
  
• Dual Nano USM system utilizes both a ring type USM and an STM mechanism to realize quick and accurate focusing that is also smooth and nearly silent to suit both photography and video applications. This focusing system also affords full-time manual focus control when working in the one-shot AF mode.
  
  
• Configurable Control Ring can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation.
  
  
• Protective fluorine coating has been applied to the front and rear element to resist fingerprints and smudges and to make cleaning these elements significantly easier.
  
  
• As a member of the esteemed L-series, this lens has a weather-resistant design that protects against dust and moisture to enable its use in inclement conditions.
  
  
• Rotation-type zoom ring features torque adjustment capabilities to fine-tune the handling of the lens or to prevent the lens from accidentally extending.
  
  
• Included lens hood features a side window to allow for easier adjustment of specialized rotating filters, such as polarizers, while the lens hood is attached.
  
  
• Compatible with optional Extender RF 1.4x and Extender RF 2x teleconverters, when used within the 300-500mm range of the lens, to further extend the effective focal length range.
