Wild reach. L-series confidence.
The feel
This is the long lens you bring when you want keepers—birds lifting at dawn, surfers far past the break, kids flying downfield at golden hour. The RF 100–500mm packs serious reach into a weather-sealed L-series build that’s lighter than it looks, with fast, quiet autofocus and rock-steady stabilization so you can work handheld, react quickly, and come home with crisp, contrasty files you’re proud of.
Why photographers love it (benefit-focused facts)
-
Go far, stay sharp: 100–500mm range covers field sports, wildlife, air shows, and compressed landscapes with beautiful clarity.
-
Stabilized for handhelds: Optical Image Stabilizer delivers up to 5 stops of shake correction; works even better with Coordinated IS on IBIS-equipped EOS R bodies.
-
Fast, quiet AF: Dual Nano USM focusing is swift, accurate, and nearly silent—great for both stills and video.
-
L-series optics & build: Weather-sealed barrel, fluorine coatings for easy cleaning, and Canon’s advanced glass/coatings to resist flare and keep contrast high.
-
Closer than you think: Impressively tight close-focus for frame-filling detail at the long end—perfect for small wildlife and action portraits.
-
Balanced handling: Smooth zoom ring with torque adjustment to set your preferred resistance; removable tripod collar/foot for quick swaps between handheld and support.
-
Extender-ready: Compatible with RF 1.4× and 2× extenders (restricted to the long end) when you need even more reach.
-
77mm filter thread: A common size that plays nicely with circular polarizers and protective filters.
Good to know
-
Zoom extends as you go longer (not an internal-zoom design).
-
For the steadiest panning and tracking, pair stabilization with a monopod or gimbal when practical.
