Description
ALL THE BENEFITS OF A ZOOM. ALL THE QUALITIES OF A PRIME
The RF 100-300mm F2.8L IS USM offers a combination of the outstanding focusing speed, sharpness, and performance of a prime lens, along with the flexibility of a zoom lens. Its fast f/2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range, remarkable sharpness, 5.5-stop Image Stabilizer1, and L-series weather sealing, make it a lens that establishes new benchmarks.
A pro zoom with versatile telephoto power
Capture the fastest sports photography moments plus challenging news, and wildlife assignments with this lightweight and compact f/2.8 zoom, built to deliver a winning performance.
Blazingly fast, responsive and precise
Dual Nano USM motors offer fast, quiet focusing with extra control from a customisable lens control ring. Handheld shooting is easy too thanks to a 5.5-stop Optical Image Stabilizer.
Incredible image quality that redefines a zoom
A moulded glass Aspheric lens, unusual in a super telephoto, along with UD and Fluorite elements work together to deliver incredible detail, with reduced chromatic aberration, ghosting and flare.
Creative control when you need it most
A 9-blade aperture renders highlights and out-of-focus areas beautifully while a 1.8m minimum focusing 2 distance lets you capture close-up detail at any focal length.
Built for professionals
The L-series RF 100-300mm F2.8L IS USM will perform in whatever conditions you encounter thanks to advanced environmental sealing, shock resistance and white heat-blocking paint.
Add even more versatility with RF extenders
Boost the RF 100-300mm F2.8L IS USM up to 200-600mm f/5.6 with the RF 2x extender, or 140-420mm f/4 with the RF 1.4x extender with no sacrifice in focus speed or durability.
