Canon RF 800mm F5.6L IS USM

The Canon RF 800mm F5.6L IS USM is an extreme-reach super-telephoto prime for wildlife, birding and distant sports. Its 800mm focal length and bright f/5.6 aperture bring far-off subjects dramatically closer, while up to 4.5 stops of image stabilisation and fluorite optics keep results sharp and clean. A relatively manageable weight for its reach makes it a serious professional and enthusiast telephoto.
