Key Features

Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM Lens Summary

Amateur and enthusiast photographers who enjoy subjects requiring extensive super telephoto reach will be thrilled at the RF 800mm f/11 IS STM Lens from Canon. This full-frame lens together with the RF 600mm f/11 IS STM provide ground breaking AF and IS optics at this size and weight. The RF 800mm weighs just 1260g. which is staggering for such a long focal length. A clever barrel design also allows the lens to be contracted for transportation or storage when not in use, then extended when mounted onto any  body. Certain settings can also be conveniently adjusted on the barrel with the lens control ring.

Travel wildlife, bird, sports and aviation photographers will particularly benefit from this model’s range, placing extremely distant subjects within their reach. The addition of 4 stops of optical stabilisation compensates for lower light levels or when handheld, delivering consistently sharper images. The removal of aperture blades ensures very pleasing out of focus areas particularly when the subject is isolated from distracting backgrounds. Canon’s STM focus system ensures smooth, quiet and confidence in subject acquisition and maintains full operation even when either of the optional Extenders are mounted. The 1.4x extends the lens to 1120mm and the 2x to an incredible 1600mm. Full image stabilisation and Dual Pixel CMOS AF functionality remains with extenders mounted, delivering distinct advantages to photographers with far away subjects.
