The Canon RF 200–800mm F6.3–9 IS USM is an enthusiast-level super-telephoto zoom built for wildlife, sports and nature photography. Designed for EOS R-series cameras, it delivers an extraordinary 200–800mm zoom range in a compact, weather-resistant design, giving photographers the reach and flexibility to capture subjects that were previously out of range.
Weighing 2050 g and measuring 314 mm in length, this lens balances power and portability for serious telephoto shooting.
Incredible reach with total flexibility
The 200–800mm zoom range allows you to move from broad telephoto views to extreme close-ups of distant subjects. With a maximum focal length of 800mm and extender compatibility with the full AF area, the lens can pull even small subjects into the frame — from as close as 0.8 m.
This makes it ideal for wildlife, sports and nature, where distance and unpredictability are part of the challenge.
Shoot handheld with confidence
The 5.5-stop Optical Image Stabilizer lets you shoot handheld with greater stability, helping you react quickly to fast-moving subjects and changing conditions. This stabilisation system reduces camera shake and makes it easier to capture sharp stills and steady footage without relying on a tripod.
Sharp optics and fast autofocus
Inside the lens, three UD elements help correct chromatic aberration, while Super Spectra coating reduces ghosting and flare for cleaner, higher-contrast images.
A Nano USM motor delivers fast, smooth and quiet autofocus, keeping moving subjects sharply in focus. The nine-blade aperture contributes to pleasing background rendering, helping subjects stand out clearly.
Built for real-world conditions
The lens features dust and moisture resistance equivalent to Canon L-series lenses, making it suitable for use in changing outdoor conditions. The white exterior paint helps maintain reliable optical performance when shooting in sunlight.
Practical controls for long-lens shooting
An attached tripod collar helps balance the lens for comfortable shooting when working from a fixed position. Lens function buttons, zoom torque adjustment, and a combined Focus and Control Ring provide intuitive control over camera settings or manual focus while shooting.
The lens also uses a 95mm filter size.
