Canon RF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM

With the RF 400mm F2.8L IS USM, Canon targets wildlife, sports, and news photographers who find themselves right in the thick of the action. This super-telephoto lens delivers sensational results and outstanding portability.

The optical design is based on that of existing, advanced EF lenses, adapted for native use on EOS R mirrorless cameras, resulting in improved image quality and stunning performance. Even at the maximum aperture of f/2.8, you'll enjoy exceptional sharpness. This is thanks to the use of fluorite and Super UD glass alongside Air Sphere and Super Spectra coatings. Combined with a large maximum aperture, the Image Stabiliser ensures you can keep shooting even in low-light conditions. The stabilisation offers compensation of up to 5.5 stops.

As you'd expect from lenses in Canon's L-series, build quality is exceptional. The heat-resistant white finish means you can use it in any conditions — whether in a downpour along the sidelines or on a dusty safari trip. Fast USM autofocus with Dual Power AF and the intuitive design make this super-telephoto lens instinctive to use, so you'll never have to miss a moment again.
