Reach the unreachable

Achieve images you never thought possible, from wildlife to sports. Thanks to an 800mm maximum focal length¹ plus extender compatibility with the whole AF area², the RF 200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM has incredible power to pull even small subjects right into the frame, from as close as 0.8m.

Create impact with ease

Make a statement and capture attention-grabbing images easily. With up to 5.5-stops of optical image stabilisation³ you can shoot handheld, letting you react quickly to situations as they happen.

Capture subjects with greater clarity

Inside, three UD lenses correct chromatic aberration while a Super Spectra coating reduces ghosting and flare. A Nano USM keeps moving subjects in sharp focus, providing fast, quiet and accurate AF while a nine-blade aperture gives you beautiful background rendering.

POWERFUL IMAGE STABILIZATION

Use the slider to see how the lens’ 5.5-stop Optical Image Stabiliser can deliver shake free shots.

Keep on shooting, even in changeable conditions

Get the shot you want, even when hiking to a location where the elements might be against you, with dust and moisture resistance equivalent to our pro L-series lenses, and white exterior paint for reliable optical performance when shooting out in the sun.

Extra practicality for greater control

Balance your camera and lens for comfort by using the attached tripod collar when you’re in a fixed position for extended periods. Lens function buttons help you shoot instinctively while zoom torque adjustment and a combined Focus and Control Ring let you shoot smarter.
