CANON RF 1200MM F8L IS USM
Capture distant subjects with exceptional creative control with the RF 1200mm F8L IS USM, an extremely lightweight 1200mm super telephoto lens with a maximum aperture of F8 and a 4-speed image stabilizer. It's an uncompromising lens, designed to deliver incredible images.

EXTRAORDINARY POWER. INCREDIBLE DETAIL.
Distance is not an issue with the RF 1200mm F8L IS USM, and neither is quality. Featuring a 4-speed Image Stabilizer, a maximum aperture of F8 and a lightweight magnesium alloy body, this super telephoto lens offers handheld control with exceptional image quality. Thanks to Canon's superb engineering, extraordinary new levels of detail are possible, even when your subject is far away.

Maximum range, maximum quality
The RF 1200mm F8L IS USM produces incredible telephoto images and offers the longest native focal length for hybrid cameras. With an effective aperture of F8 and a 4-speed Image Stabilizer1 for outstanding low-light results, it exceeds all expectations.

Amazingly functional, with stunning results
Canon's most powerful telephoto lens also offers amazing flexibility. Optimised weight distribution inspires confidence, while fluorite, UD and Super UD lenses and advanced coatings deliver incredibly sharp images.

Rugged and responsive for all missions
The L-series design of the RF 1200mm F8L IS USM prioritises ease of use, with a minimum focusing distance of 4.3m allowing subjects to be tracked over a wide range of distances. Heat-shielded paint protects the internal optical elements, while fluorite on the external elements makes the lens resistant to dust and moisture.

Designed for the EOS R series
The RF 1200mm F8L IS USM is at the forefront of Canon's lens range. An aperture mechanism offers 1/8 stops, ideal for video, while the Image Stabilizer system works with built-in stabilization for optimum stability.

Customisable control with true ease of use
The RF 1200mm F8L IS USM offers a host of customisable options with two focus presets and a customisable autofocus stop-down button. It is fully compatible with RF multipliers and the focus direction can even be reversed if you were previously using a non- Canon system!
