Product details

The RF 1200mm F8 L IS USM is the flagship model of the ever-growing RF lens lineup, offering unprecedented super-telephoto performance. Since the Canon EF 1200mm f/5.6 L USM was released over 29 years ago, there has not been a lens like this. It provides the longest focal length available for mirrorless full-frame cameras on the market, is very compact at 537 mm in length, and weighs only 3340 g. The 4-stop image stabilizer with IBIS ensures stable shots, while the minimum focusing distance of just 4.3 m and compatibility with the RF 1.4 Extender and RF 2x Extender offer additional flexibility. It also features a 52 mm drop-in filter holder.
