Looking to produce sharp and detailed images of distant subjects, such is necessary for sports and wildlife photography? Look no further than this Canon RF 800mm F5.6 L IS USM lens. This lens is sure to be able to match the high-resolution performance of Canon's most advanced EOS R mirrorless cameras, thanks to its premium optical design which includes Fluorite, UD and Super UD elements. To top it off, the Canon RF 800mm features both Air Sphere and Super Spectra Coatings to prevent flare and ghosting and promote excellent sharpness and colour accuracy.

In keeping with the benefits of mirrorless equipment, this Canon prime lens achieves this level of excellence while remaining remarkably compact and lightweight, being notably shorter and weighing more than a 1KG less than its EF mount equivalent. Despite a size reduction, the Canon RF 800mm f5.6 L IS USM lens is just as rugged as any other telephoto L series lens from Canon. It is extensively weather-sealed, it features a fluorine coating to protect the front lens element, and it has even been coated in heat-resistant white paint.

The Canon RF 800mm F5.6 L IS USM lens is suitable for fast-paced shooting with your Canon EOS R mirrorless camera, as well as advanced video recording, thanks to its fast and quiet USM AF system. Its impressive closest focus makes the lens suitable for framing close-up objects, as well as those in the distance. Those who want to focus manually have been looked after; this lens features manual focus override, as well as variable speed manual focus controls with three different settings. Rounding out the focus features of this sports-friendly lens is a focus range limiter and two focus presets that allows users to automatically recall a specific focus distance.

This Canon L-Series lens features a highly effective image stabilisation system, which is good for 4.5 stops of stabilisation; this, combined with the compact size of the lens, opens the door for advanced monopod-supported shooting and you can even fire off some impressive handheld shots. Think you need more reach than the provided 800mm? The Canon RF 800mm f5.6 L IS USM lens is compatible with both RF 1.4x and 2x extenders, which means you can harness up to a 1600mm focal length with this lens in your kit.
