Product details

Web ID: 17817440

The travel-friendly size and weight (similar in size to the EF 70-300 F4.5-5.6 IS II USM lens but a bit lighter) of this lens, makes it easier for it to be attached with a camera around your neck while walking around for an extended time and also allows room for more lenses in a camera backpack.

  • Product Features

    • The RF100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM lens incorporates a Control Ring on the lens barrel that can directly adjust numerous settings including shutter speed, aperture, ISO, exposure compensation, and more.
    • Located towards the front of the lens it effectively adds a third dial to EOS R and RP cameras, and the fourth dial to cameras such as EOS R5 and R6 cameras.
    • With a tactile, easily distinguished surface and a clicking mechanism that provides tangible feedback for confident use while looking through the viewfinder, the control ring adds an outstanding connection to any shooting scenario.
    • Minimum focusing distance of 2.89 feet at 200mm and maximum magnification of 0.41x at 400mm.
    • High speed, smooth and quiet autofocus with Canon's Nano USM.

Exceptional Performance - Unbeatable Price

The Canon RF 100-400mm is an outstanding value - lightweight, surprisingly sharp, and a telephoto zoom that performs far beyond what its modest price suggests. I use it on my Canon R7, whose APS-C sensor effectively extends the field of view to the equivalent of 160-640mm. The crop sensor also uses only the sharp central portion of the lens, resulting in excellent image quality across the frame. While the maximum aperture of f/5.6-8 may seem limiting on paper, it has never been an issue for the way I use this lens. My telephoto photography is almost exclusively outdoors in good light, where the smaller aperture is easily offset by the R7's excellent autofocus and image stabilization. For wildlife, landscapes, and distant subjects, this lens delivers exceptional performance without the size, weight, or cost of Canon's premium telephoto lenses. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable, lightweight telephoto that consistently exceeds expectations.

stunning value

have had for 2 years, tested this against the 100-500 and the images were the same quality. liked the 22oz vs 36oz, smaller and faster to use.

All worth it

It works perfectly with our R8 and, as expected, is much better than the EF-S 55 - 250mm on our EF cameras. We may want to try the RF 800mm later.

This is a Great Lens

I am getting great results with and without the 2x extender. The lens is light enough for off-hand shooting, but go with support for that big reach. I like that I can get full throw from 100 to 400 with just a quarter turn of the barrel to get that perfect frame without mucking my focus or aim.

Lightweight, Inexpensive, but VERY SLOW!

A very good lens, especially for its pretty inexpensive, light weight, focus is fast. But oh that f/11 @400mm is so slow! I don't know if I can get 'use' to having to really turn up the ISO to get fast enough shutter to freeze motion of animals and birds. I almost gave it 3 stars.

Good lens for the price but quality suffers

This is a great lens for the price. Light weight, compact, great for walking around. I used it with my Canon RP body, which was a nice all around set up. The quality of images, however, is not as good as my L series lenses, especially at the 400mm range. I returned the lens and opted for the 100-500mm.
