EF600mm f/4L IS III USM
Be it for wildlife, motorsports or press photography, the EF600mm f/4L IS III USM is the super telephoto prime lens that professional photographers will recommend. 870g lighter than its predecessor, it comes with Air Sphere Coating (ASC) for improved reduction of flare and ghosting, enhanced image stabilization (IS) (approximately 5 stops), and a 30cm reduction in closest focusing distance, allowing you to get even closer to your subject. The lens features a new heat shield coating that helps prevent the lens from overheating when shooting in the hot sun, in addition to the L-lens staple dust-proof, drip-proof structure and fluorine coating.

The high image quality you would expect from a flagship lens
The use of 2 fluorite and 1 Super UD lens elements correct chromatic aberration, removing one of the last hindrances to ideal image quality on a super telephoto lens and achieving stunning visual resolution and overall contrast. The EF600mm f/4L IS III USM also newly features Canon’s own Air Sphere Coating (ASC) technology, which incorporates air with a lower refractive index than optical glass into the coating, forming an ultra-low refractive layer that suppresses lens flare and ghosting.
Huge reduction in weight; operability fit for professional photographers
EF600mm f/4L IS III USM boasts astoundingly sharp, high contrast images even amid a redesign resulting in a 20% reduction in body weight to 3,050g. Built to ensure durability and convenience even when shooting for long hours outdoors, it newly features a heat-shield coating to prevent overheating under the hot sun, in addition to fluorine coating on the lens surface to prevent dirt and stains from sticking and a dust-proof, drip-proof structure. The controls have also been improved for enhanced operability, with the likes of a new manual focus speed switch and a customizable electronic focusing ring that offers 3 levels of manual focusing speed to match the amount of rotation by the focusing ring.
5-stop IS, 4.2m closest focusing distance
Image stabilization (IS) has been significantly improved to 5 stops, with 3 versatile IS modes available, including IS Mode 2 for panning, and IS Mode 3 for unpredictable movement. This, together with the drastically lighter lens body, expands the range of scenes that you can shoot by hand. A reduction in closest focusing distance to 4.2m from 4.5m on the predecessor allows you to shoot closer to your subjects while retaining same high image quality.
