Product description
Description Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM Canon RF
A must for all wildlife and sports photographers! Whether autofocus, image quality or portability – the Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM impresses on every count. The lens is also compatible with the Canon RF extenders (1.4x and 2x), allowing a focal length of 1000mm to be reached. With this exceptionally powerful and reliable companion, you can devote yourself fully to your passion!
Fast, quiet autofocus of the Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM
The Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM is mainly used in wildlife and sports photography. As subjects move quickly and mostly unpredictably, you need an autofocus that meets these demands. This is where the Canon RF 100-500mm lens impresses with its Dual Nano USM motors, which make the autofocus not only extremely fast and precise, but also virtually silent.
Excellent sharpness
The Canon RF 100-500mm is equipped with a Super UD lens, six UD lenses and a 5-stop image stabiliser. This minimises blur from camera shake, and the result is high-contrast images that are razor-sharp right to the edges, whatever the focal length. Aperture reflections and flare are largely minimised thanks to the ASC coating.
Bokeh of the RF 100-500mm super telephoto zoom
Thanks to the 9 aperture blades, the Canon RF 100-500mm consistently produces soft, even bokeh. The aperture can also be adjusted using the aperture ring.
Ergonomics & weight
With the tripod collar attached, the Canon RF 100-500mm weighs a good 1.5kg, which is quite something, but entirely average for super telephoto lenses. Retracted, it is just under 21cm. long. So it can be carried in your backpack without any problems!
More features of the Canon RF 100-500mm
In addition to dust and splash protection, the Canon RF 100-500mm has a heat-repellent coating that contributes to the lens's longevity. The lens is compatible with the Canon RF extenders (1.4x and 2x) and can therefore achieve extreme reach. In addition to the usual zoom ring, focus ring and aperture ring, the Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM also has a "smooth-tight" ring that determines how easily or stiffly the zoom moves.
