Canon RF 1200mm f/8L IS USM

The Canon RF 1200mm f/8L IS USM is a super-telephoto lens designed for photographers using a Canon EOS R-series camera who are looking for the best possible image quality when shooting difficult subjects. Incredible resolving power, the legendary quality of Canon's L-series, and stunning sharpness ensure you never miss a moment.

The RF 1200mm f/8L IS USM is powerful and responsive for any assignment. The lens offers maximum reach with optimal quality. Alongside its exceptional telephoto performance, it has a minimum focusing distance of 4.3 metres, allowing subjects to be tracked across a wide range of distances. Fluorite, UD, and Super UD lens elements with advanced coatings deliver crystal-clear, highly detailed images. The large f/8 aperture captures all the action with razor-sharp precision and detail. The adjustment mechanism with 1/8-stop increments is ideal for both photography and film.

The Canon RF 1200mm f/8L IS USM is the world's most compact and lightest 1200mm lens. Handheld super-telephoto photography has never delivered such outstanding image quality! The combination of Optical Image Stabilisation and in-body stabilisation ensures your handheld shots remain sharp and detailed. Even in low light, the 4-stop stabilisation exceeds all expectations.

The Canon RF 1200mm f/8L IS USM has been designed with ease of use in mind. You can easily customise the lens to suit your needs with two preset focusing distances and a customisable AF stop button. The optical elements inside the lens are protected by heat-insulating paint, while the outer elements are shielded against dust and moisture thanks to a fluorine coating.
