RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USMEAN  4549292168037

Covering a variety of telephoto focal lengths, the Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM spans a short to super-telephoto range in a sleek and portable form factor. The modest maximum aperture allows for a relatively portable design that's well-suited for handheld and walkaround use, and optical image stabilization also helps stabilize photos and videos by up to five stops when working in challenging lighting conditions. This lens also stands out for its advanced optical design, which includes a series of Super UD and UD elements to significantly reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing throughout the zoom range for superior clarity and color accuracy.

Balancing the lens's distinct optical assets is the Dual Nano USM focusing system, which offers fast, near-silent autofocus performance with full-time manual focus override. A unique control ring is also integrated into the lens design for intuitive control of exposure settings from the lens itself, and the rotating zoom ring also features a torque adjustment for precise adjustment of the lens feel. Additionally, this 100-500mm is weather-sealed and has a fluorine coating to protect the front and rear elements.

Advanced optical design minimizes aberrations
This versatile telephoto zoom lens is designed for use with Canon RF-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras.

Six UD (Ultra-Low Dispersion) elements and one Super UD element help minimize chromatic aberrations and color fringing for greater clarity and color accuracy.

5-Stop Image Stabilizer
An optical image stabilizer helps minimize the appearance of camera shake by five stops to allow for better working in low-light conditions and at slower shutter speeds. Three distinct IS modes are available: standard single-shot mode, a mode optimized for panning, and a mode that activates the image stabilization only during exposure.

Ultra-fast and silent focusing, but also manual focusing
The Dual Nano USM system uses both a ring-type USM and an STM mechanism to achieve fast and accu
