The RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM’s zoom range gives you the power and flexibility to capture a subject both close1 and even far away. It’s ideal for sports photography, wildlife or a day trip to the park.
Super sharp and highly stable
Powerful 5.5-stop Optical Image Stabilisation2 gives the RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM a great advantage for achieving sharp handheld stills and smooth movies with no need for a tripod to weigh you down.
Revolutionary size and weight
Weighing just 635g and measuring 164.7mm in length, this compact, lightweight lens is well balanced, even when fully extended, and fits in a kit bag beautifully.
Responsive performance with smooth, fast AF
Thanks to a Nano USM motor focusing3 is fast, quiet and smooth, while the Lens Control Ring gives control over settings. A nine-blade aperture delivers great background blur, too.
Super telephoto power
The RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM is ideal for animal photography and distant subjects producing great results thanks to Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) glass and advanced coatings.
Extend your reach even further
Increase your telephoto power with Canon RF extenders, which connect seamlessly4 with metering and Auto Focus to give you even greater precise reach for those faraway subjects.
