RF1200mm f/8L IS USM
Ultra Telephoto Reimagined
Weighing only at approximately 3,340g, the RF1200mm f/8L IS USM has revolutionised what a lens of this focal length could be. It is smaller and much lighter than its EF equivalent. Moreover, this lens is packed with features like image stabilisation of up to 4 shutter stops for that impeccable image quality that a professional would expect.
- Image stabilisation of up to 4 stops with three IS modes
- Supports high-speed shooting of EOS R system with 1/8 step aperture control for movie recording
- Dust-& drip-resistant with vibration & shock resistance
Adaptable Capabilities
Air Sphere Coating
Utilising the unique Air Sphere Coating (ASC) technology, the RF1200mm f/8L IS USM can suppress ghosting by reducing the reflectivity of light entering from a large angle of incidence and vertically.
Super UD Lens
The RF1200mm f/8L IS USM can produce superior image quality with minimal colour fringing from edge to edge of the frame using UD and Super UD Lens.
Fluorite Lens
The RF1200mm f/8L IS USM produces high quality images with minimal chromatic aberration through the use of fluorite lenses.
Optimised Lens Design
The elements are arranged in a way that significantly improves image quality. It also allows the lens design to be more compact and lightweight.
Size & Weight Reduction
Canon has revolutionised the ultra telephoto lens through the lens design by introducing innovative optics arrangements and a high-strength alloy lens barrel. The RF1200mm f/8L IS USM is 299mm shorter than its EF equivalent, and it is approximately 13.16kg lighter.
Image Stabilisation
The built-in Optical Image Stabilizer (Optical IS) provides image stabilisation of up to 4 shutter speed stops. The Optical IS enables shots previously not possible handheld, ensuring tack sharp images even when shooting in low-light.
IS Modes
- IS Mode 1 for stationary subjects
- IS Mode 2 for panning shoots
- IS Mode 3 for subjects with unpredictable movement
High-Speed Shooting
High-speed continuous shooting of up to 30fps is supported when paired with compatible EOS R cameras using the electronic shutter.
Smooth Aperture
Aperture control of 1/8 step provides smooth, gradual transitions from dark areas to bright areas.
