The Ultimate in Telephoto Reach

Its sleek profile makes it highly portable, while the four-stop effective optical image stabilisation ensures sharp and clear images even in challenging lighting situations.
- Super-telephoto 800mm focal length for extreme reach.
- Incredibly lightweight at just 1,260g.
- Retractable design for easy storage and travel.
- Gapless dual-layered diffractive optic (DO) lens for superb sharpness and reduced chromatic aberrations.
Super-Telephoto Reach for Breathtaking Close-ups
See and shoot details that were once out of reach. With the Canon RF 800mm f11 IS STM super-telephoto lens, you can get amazingly close to subjects while maintaining your distance. Capture an athlete’s intense expression, an animal in the wild, or a plane in the sky with awe-inspiring detail.
Lightweight, Compact, and Retractable
Follow the action without feeling weighed down. Weighing only 1,260g, this Canon 800mm lens is remarkably portable for its class. Easy to handhold and travel with, it’s a perfect companion for sports and nature shooters. The lens retracts for even easier storage and its barrel features a leather grain finish to help prevent slipping, smudges, and scratches.
Superb Image Quality
The Canon RF 800mm f11 lens realises details with stunning sharpness. Adopting a single DO (gapless dual-layered diffractive optic) lens in place of multiple lens elements (which make the lens significantly smaller and lighter), the Canon 800mm captures superbly fine detail free from chromatic aberrations.
4-stop Image Stabilisation
Shoot sharp and steady, even without a tripod. Equipped with an inbuilt image stabiliser (IS) to counteract camera shake, the Canon 800mm f11 lens performs as though you’re shooting at shutter speeds 4 stops faster. When you use a tripod, IS can be easily switched off.
Fast, Near-Silent AF for Unmissable Moments
Don’t let the moment get away. With autofocus (AF) powered by a Stepping Motor (STM), the RF Canon 800mm lens has the focusing speed and precision to sharply snap even the swiftest of subjects, from a sweeping bird of prey to a racing motorbike. The STM also performs smoothly and quietly, so it won’t disturb your subject or spoil your audio during video shoots.
Direct Control at Your Fingertips
Stay focused on your subject, rather than on your camera. Unique to Canon RF lenses, the Canon 800mm lens control ring can be customised to change your shutter speed, aperture, ISO, or exposure compensation. This means you can tweak your exposure via the lens itself without needing to look away from your camera’s viewfinder.
