Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM Lens

The Canon 4112C002 is a telephoto zoom lens for the RF mount that moves effortlessly from 100 to 500 millimeters. This broad focal range lets you capture a perched hawk one moment and a distant surfer the next, all without swapping glass. A variable maximum aperture that opens to f/4.5 at the short end keeps the lens surprisingly compact and easy to carry, while f/7.1 at 500 millimeters still gathers enough light for outdoor action and bright venues.

Canon’s optical image stabilization technology delivers up to five stops of shake correction, so you can rely on sharp results when you are hand-holding at sunrise, tracking fast-moving athletes, or panning across an airshow. The stabilization also helps when shooting video, smoothing out footage that would otherwise require a tripod or gimbal.

Focusing is driven by a Dual Nano USM system that combines speed and silence. It locks onto subjects quickly for birds in flight and stays whisper-quiet during interviews or nature scenes where audio matters just as much as the picture.

Inside the barrel, six Ultra-Low Dispersion elements and one Super UD element work together to control color fringing. The result is an image that looks clean, sharp, and true to life even at full zoom. Front and rear fluorine coatings resist dust, moisture, and fingerprints, making field maintenance as simple as a quick wipe.

Handling is tuned for real-world use. An adjustable torque ring lets you set the zoom tension to match your shooting style, and the programmable control ring brings quick access to exposure or ISO adjustments. The rugged construction meets Canon’s L-series weather-sealing standards, so light rain or blowing sand will not cut your day short.

For extra reach, you can attach Canon RF 1.4x or 2x extenders and turn distant subjects into frame-filling details. A minimum focus distance of 2.95 feet invites tight portraits of small wildlife or sideline action, while a 77 millimeter front thread accepts polarizers, neutral density filters, or anything else in your kit.

Put it all together and the RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM becomes a dependable partner for wildlife expeditions, outdoor sports, airshows, and travel adventures where weight matters and versatility is key.
