For decades, the 300mm f/2.8 telephoto lens has been an industry standard for photojournalists, professionals, and aspiring enthusiast photographers due to its outstanding image quality, excellent speed for indoor shooting, and lightweight hand-holding. Now, with the launch of the RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM, Canon delivers the flexibility of a zoom lens design with the truly outstanding quality of a 300mm f/2.8 L-series telephoto lens. Exceeding the reach and potential of traditional 70-200mm lenses and adding zoom flexibility to its Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS predecessor, the RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM lens brings new value to customers with the following features:  

  • Wide Focal Range—100-300mm range  
  • Extended Zoom—Optional RF1.4x and 2x extenders are supported with this lens, enabling a zoom range of up to 600mm 
  • Spectacular Image Quality—f/2.8 constant wide aperture;  Fluorite and UD-glass design  
  • Reliable Stabilization—up to 5.5 stops correction with in-lens Optical Image Stabilization and up to 6.0 stops correction with in-body coordinated Image Stabilization (CIPA standard)  
  • Weather and Dust Resistant—Durable in various environmental conditions  
  • Compact and Lightweight Design—Despite capabilities to zoom over 300mm, this lens is unusually lightweight, just barely heavier than the EF300mm f/2.8L IS II
  • The Canon RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM lens is expected to be available in May for an estimated retail price of $9,499.00
