• High-performance f/2.8 constant maximum aperture

It's no easy task, but this lens offers an incredible f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range, giving you all the benefits it packs in, from great low-light performance to incredible bokeh and fast shutter speeds.

• Excellent image quality: lenses and coatings

The RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM Canon offers excellent optical quality, from edge to edge. Its optical design includes a fluorite lens, 4 UD (ultra-low dispersion) glass elements, fluorine coating and SSC Canon (Super Spectra coating) to minimize ghosting and flare.

• Optical image stabilization: up to 5.5 stops* of vibration correction

For consistently sharp results, the RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM features integrated Optical Image Stabilization, which provides improved vibration reduction of up to 5.5 stops* of vibration correction. When paired with an EOS R series camera that has in-body image stabilization (IBIS), coordinated IS allows up to 6 correction stops. This means more reliable portable performance and clearer details in low-light situations, without having to increase the ISO or decrease the shutter speed.

• Dual USM focusing system

The Canon RF 100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM Canon lens offers incredible focusing speed and accuracy throughout the focus range thanks to dual Nano USMs that activate independently (especially useful when following moving subjects). This design even helps balance the weight of the lens, reducing fatigue when held in the hand.

• Control ring for direct configuration changes

The RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM lens incorporates a control ring on the lens cylinder that can directly adjust numerous settings, including shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation, and more. Located towards the front of the lens and effectively adds a third dial to the EOS R camera's main dial and quick control dial.

• Just add lightness

Weighing just under 6 pounds (5.8 pounds), the RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM lens is the lightest f/2.8 300mm zoom lens on the market. Certainly light enough to hold in your hand for short periods of time.**

• Focus preset button

There's a slide switch on the cylinder that allows you to program the AF preset, recall it, or you can slide the switch to "L-Fn" to use that button as a programmable function button instead.

• Function buttons

The front of the lens features preset function buttons so you can program a specific function to occur by pressing one of the buttons (there are four buttons around the lens, so there's always one within reach, they all perform the same preset function).
