This super-telephoto zoom lens for the RF mount delivers outstanding image quality, with a long reach of 400mm in a small and light design. Image stabilisation of up to 6 shutter stops with compatible cameras gives you more freedom in your photography.
The RF100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM is physically smaller than an average 350ml tumbler, making it portable and compact enough to fit into a small bag or packed with other lenses without taking up much space.
Weighing approximately 635g, the RF100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM is significantly smaller and a lot lighter compared to the EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM that weighs 1 570g.
Through the RF mount design, the RF100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM has a short minimum focusing distance allowing it to achieve 0.41x magnification.
Natively, the RF100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM can achieve up to 5.5 stops image stabilisation. When paired with a compatible camera, the 5-axis In-Body Image Stabilizer (In-Body IS) and the In-Lens Optical Image Stabilizer (Optical IS) provide Coordinated Control Image Stabilisation (IS) capable of up to 6 stops of image stabilisation.
This compact ultrasonic motor provides high-speed AF. The innovative AF actuator is suitable for high-precision micro-driving and delivers high performance even during movie recording and live-view shooting.
The introduction of the RF mount has enabled the RF100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM to deliver high image quality in a lightweight and compact design.
This lens uses a single Ultra Low Dispersion (UD) lens element with low refraction and low dispersion that reduces chromatic aberrations to deliver higher image quality.
