The Canon RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 IS USM Lens (Canon RF) is a versatile lens, combining powerful telephoto capability and Image Stabilization in a portable design that many users may be able to hand-hold. The lens weighs about 4.5 pounds, and its Image Stabilization delivers up to 5.5 stops of shake-correction, for steadiness whether you're handholding, or working with a monopod. The RF200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM can help elevate your content whether it's wildlife, birds and nature, or outdoor sports such as surfing, golf, baseball, motorsports, and more.
The focus/control ring on the lens barrel can directly adjust shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation, and other settings. Two lens function buttons are also available on the barrel for immediate access to your preferred camera settings.
The signature white paint functions as a heat countermeasure when shooting for extended periods under harsh light and works together with the lens’s weather-resistant design to prevent damage from the elements.
Powerful Zoom Range
The Canon RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 IS USM Lens has a 4x zoom that covers from telephoto to super-telephoto ranges, allowing you to capture a subject at a distance to fill the entire frame. The availability to back-off to 200mm at its wide end means you can easily include a subject’s surroundings. The 800mm maximum tele capability is outstanding when photographing wild birds, wild animals, and other subjects — and delivers powerful visual “telephoto compression, in stills and video content. This 4x zoom range gives great flexibility, when working with subjects whose movements are unpredictable as you are able to continue shooting or recording video — even if the subject comes closer.
Get Even Closer
Support for the optional Extender RF1.4x and Extender RF2x in all zooming ranges further expands the telephoto range of 200-800mm. This means you can get even closer to distant subjects with effective telephoto power of up to 1120mm with the Extender RF1.4x, or to an effective 1600mm using the Extender RF2x.
Designed for Mobility
At approximately 4.5 lbs. (2,050 g), the RF200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM lens is relatively lightweight and compact for a super-telephoto 4x zoom lens with an 800mm telephoto end. This allows for comfortable handheld shooting and excellent mobility. The versatility of the 200-800mm zoom range also liberates you from carrying multiple lenses, making it very practical for various outdoor shooting situations.
High Image Quality
In order to maintain high image quality at any zoom range, the RF200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM lens is equipped with an optimized optical design with a multi-group zooming configuration. Three Ultra-low Dispersion glass elements in its 17-element design ensure amazing color and sharpness. The lens takes advantage of the short back focus RF mount system to achieve both superb image quality and a lightweight, compact design.
