Description
The Canon RF 600mm F4L IS USM is a super telephoto prime lens for canon's full frame R-series mirrorless cameras. The RF 600mm f/4L is aimed at professionals and advanced enthusiast photographers capturing wildlife, sports and action. This lens uses the same optical formula as the EF version and features 17 elements in 13 groups, with one super UD and two fluorite elements. Super Spectra and Air Sphere coatings.
This lens offers ultra-fast focusing with upto 5.5 stops of image stabilisation.
The RF 600mm benefits from a dual power focus drive, which makes the most of the Dual Pixel AF system and features a second power connection, drawing extra power from compatible cameras like the EOS R5. This drives the focusing motor faster, which results in quicker focusing speed, to let photographers gain initial focus more quickly whilst tracking faster moving subjects.
Mount the Extender RF 1.4x or the Extender RF 2x to achieve greater reach upto 1200mm.
