Lightweight and Compact Design

The RF100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM is physically smaller than an average 350ml tumbler, making it portable and compact enough to fit into a small bag or packed with other lenses without taking up much space.

Weighing approximately 635g, the RF100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM is significantly smaller and a lot lighter compared to the EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM that weighs 1,570g.

0.41x Magnification

Through the RF mount design, the RF100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM has a short minimum focusing distance allowing it to achieve 0.41x magnification.

Image Stabilisation

Natively, the RF100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM can achieve up to 5.5 stops image stabilisation. When paired with a compatible camera, the 5-axis In-Body Image Stabilizer (In-Body IS) and the In-Lens Optical Image Stabilizer (Optical IS) provide Coordinated Control Image Stabilisation (IS) capable of up to 6 stops of image stabilisation.

Nano USM

This compact ultrasonic motor provides high-speed AF. The innovative AF actuator is suitable for high-precision micro-driving and delivers high performance even during movie recording and live-view shooting.

Lens Layout

The introduction of the RF mount has enabled the RF100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM to deliver high image quality in a lightweight and compact design.

Super Spectra Coating

This special coating on the RF100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM reduces flaring and ghosting.

The coating also prevents contrast loss in a backlit scenario for a sharper and clearer image.

UD Lens

This lens uses a single Ultra Low Dispersion (UD) lens element with low refraction and low dispersion that reduces chromatic aberrations to deliver higher image quality.
