    Product Details

    The Canon RF 1200mm f8 L IS USM lens is a great choice for advanced long-range shooting with your Canon EOS R mirrorless system. As well as its long 1200mm focal length, this lens can be utilised with Canon's 1.4x and 2x extenders, which means a focal length of up to 2400mm is possible with this Canon prime lens. With such a long magnification, it is quite remarkable how portable this lens really is. It is considerably shorter than Canon's EF version of this lens, and at a little over 3KG, it is a full 13KG lighter. Handheld shots are a distinct possibility with this Canon lens, with Image Stabilisation helping you out in this area. This IS is good for up to 4 stops of stabilisation, while 3 different IS modes are available to help in your current shooting condition.

    The Canon RF 1200mm f8 L IS USM lens is home to a premium build and optical design; what do you expect from a Canon L series lens? It is weather-sealed to allow outdoor shooting, it features a fluorine front coating to protect the front element, and it also features a unique heat-resistant paint finish. Optically, a range of the highest end elements has been included. Fluorite, UD and Super UD elements have been included to enhance sharpness and clarity, while both Air Sphere and Super Spectra Coatings have been applied; this improves contrast and colour accuracy while limiting ghosting and lens flare.

    As many users of this Canon lens will be employing it to capture fast-moving subjects, they will be pleased to find an aptly fast and smooth USM motor in charge of the autofocus. This system is also suitable for capturing videos with your EOS R camera. Manual focus is just as capable with the RF 1200mm lens; you have full-time manual focus override, which allows you to focus manually without changing your shooting mode, as well as variable speed focussing - this adjusts the responsiveness of the manual focus.

    To help the Canon RF 1200mm f8 L IS USM lens perform how you need it to to get the winning shot, Canon has included two focus presets, which automatically adjusts the focus to predetermined distances, and a focus range limiter, which saves the lens from hunting from close-up to infinity to find a subject to lock onto.
