Canon RF800mm F5.6 L IS USM

The RF800mm F5.6 L IS USM is a long super-telephoto prime for photographers who need serious reach, from birds and wildlife to motorsports and aviation. At 800mm it isolates a distant subject tightly, and the L-series optics with Super Spectra and Air Sphere coatings hold contrast and control ghosting and flare when shooting toward the light. Optical image stabilization corrects up to 4.5 stops and offers three IS modes for static, panning, and irregular movement.

The lens accepts the RF 1.4x and RF 2x extenders to extend reach to 1120mm or 1600mm, and a drop-in 52mm filter holder keeps filtration manageable on a large front element. It ships with the E-180E cap, RF dust cap, the drop-in screw filter holder 52 (WIII) with a 52mm protect filter, the ET-155 (WII) hood, the LS600 soft case, and the wide strap B.
