Wildlife, aviation and field sports all need reach, but a traditional 100-400mm zoom is a heavy commitment. The RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM weighs just 635g, light enough to carry on a hike or hand-hold through a full match, while still reaching 400mm on a full-frame EOS R body, or the equivalent of 640mm on an APS-C model such as the EOS R7 or R10.
Nano USM focusing is fast and quiet enough for birds in flight and for video, and optical image stabilization rated at 5.5 stops, or 6 stops coordinated with in-body IS, keeps long handheld shots steady. One UD element and one aspherical element in the 12-element design keep color fringing and softness in check.
It also focuses close: 0.88m at 200mm and up to 0.41x magnification at 400mm, which makes it a capable lens for butterflies, flowers and details you cannot approach. For anyone stepping into telephoto photography on the RF system, it is the most accessible way in.
