Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM

Bring distant subjects into sharp focus without the bulk. The Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM is engineered for EOS R Series full-frame mirrorless shooters who demand serious telephoto range in a lens that won't weigh them down — whether they're tracking wildlife, covering fast-moving sports, or exploring new destinations.

Reach Further, Shake Less

Despite its slim, travel-friendly profile — comparable in size to the EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 IS II USM — this lens stretches all the way to 400mm. An Optical Image Stabilizer delivers 5.5 stops of shake compensation on its own, and when paired with an in-body stabilized body like the EOS R5 or R6, Coordinated IS pushes that figure to an impressive 6 stops. The Nano USM autofocus system combines a ring-type USM with an STM mechanism for focusing that is fast, precise, and virtually silent — equally suited to stills and video. Full-time manual focus override is available in One-Shot AF mode.

Optical Precision From Edge to Edge

Inside, one Ultra Low Dispersion element tames chromatic aberration and color fringing across the entire zoom range, while an aspherical element keeps distortion in check for consistently sharp imagery. Super Spectra Coating suppresses flare and ghosting in high-contrast lighting. Close-up shooting shines too — maximum magnification reaches 0.41x at 400mm, letting you frame subjects as small as a credit card. A 9-blade rounded diaphragm produces smooth, pleasing bokeh, and the configurable Control Ring puts aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation at your fingertips. Extender RF 1.4x and 2x teleconverters are also supported for even greater reach.
