Push the limits of performance
The RF 800mm f/5.6 L IS USM is built to impress. From the fast f/5.6 aperture and 4.5-stop image Stabiliser for effortless control to Fluorite, UD and Super UD lens elements with advanced coatings, it sets new standards in optical excellence.
* In combination with in-body image Stabilisation on EOS R3, EOS R5 and EOS R6.

Control with confidence
This is Canon’s lightest and shortest 800m L-series lens yet, made possible by an advanced optical design. Optimised weight distribution inspires confidence while full-time manual focus is always there for precise AF control.
