ALL THE BENEFITS OF A ZOOM. ALL THE QUALITIES OF A PRIME
When you need the incredible focusing speed, sharpness and performance of a prime lens plus the versatility of a zoom, the RF 100-300mm F2.8L IS USM gives you both. With a fast f/2.8 aperture right across the zoom range, incredible sharpness, a 5.5-stop Image Stabilizer1 and L-series weather sealing, it’s a lens that sets new standards.
A pro zoom with versatile telephoto power
Capture the fastest sports photography moments plus challenging news, and wildlife assignments with this lightweight and compact f/2.8 zoom, built to deliver a winning performance.
Blazingly fast, responsive and precise
Dual Nano USM motors offer fast, quiet focusing with extra control from a customisable lens control ring. Handheld shooting is easy too thanks to a 5.5-stop Optical Image Stabilizer.
Incredible image quality that redefines a zoom
A moulded glass Aspheric lens, unusual in a super telephoto, along with UD and Fluorite elements work together to deliver incredible detail, with reduced chromatic aberration, ghosting and flare.
Creative control when you need it most
A 9-blade aperture renders highlights and out-of-focus areas beautifully while a 1.8m minimum focusing distance lets you capture close-up detail at any focal length.
Built for professionals
The L-series RF 100-300mm F2.8L IS USM will perform in whatever conditions you encounter thanks to advanced environmental sealing, shock resistance and white heat-blocking paint.
Add even more versatility with RF extenders
Boost the RF 100-300mm F2.8L IS USM up to 200-600mm f/5.6 with the RF 2x extender, or 140-420mm f/4 with the RF 1.4x extender with no sacrifice in focus speed or durability.
Demo Footage by Canon Co-Lab Ambassador Ben Hagarty
