Canon RF 400mm F2.8L IS USM lens

Powerful, portable and professional – the RF mount super-telephoto that lets you capture action with impact

Delivering high-performance results, this is the go-to choice for capturing your best wildlife, sports and action photos

With this portable 400mm super-telephoto lens – built for RF mount cameras. A fast f/2.8 aperture and optical IS make this a great low-light performer. Advanced AF keeps even fast-moving subjects pin sharp, for breath-taking image quality.

Outstanding image quality

Even at its maximum f/2.8 aperture, sharpness is exceptional right across the frame. This is due to the use of Fluorite and Super UD glass plus ASC and Super Spectra coatings.

Fast focusing keeps you sharp

When capturing fast action, the lens focuses quickly and confidently. A dual power focus drive offers faster AF with compatible cameras.

Low light? No problem

The RF 400mm F2.8L IS USM is great in low light, with a large f/2.8 max aperture and an IS system offering 5.5 stops of protection from camera shake.1

Instinctive handling

The lightest 400mm f/2.8 lens available for mirrorless cameras2 is easy to take with you. Full-time MF lets you adjust focus and AF start/stop buttons are intuitive to find. 

Built to inspire confidence
