An impressive and incredibly
unique super-telephoto, the Canon RF 600mm f/11 IS STM is an
especially compact and lightweight lens considering its long focal length.
Featuring a retractable design and a fixed f/11 aperture, this lens's sleek
profile makes handheld super-tele shooting a very real possibility, and optical
image stabilization further helps to achieve sharp imagery when working in
difficult lighting conditions. Also contributing to the reduced size is a
distinct optical layout, which uses gapless dual-layer diffractive optics
instead of multiple heavier individual elements, which also effectively
controls color fringing and chromatic aberrations for high clarity. Complementing
this design is an STM stepping motor that delivers quick and quiet autofocus
performance that is suitable for both stills and video needs. Additionally, a
Control Ring is also integrated into the lens design for intuitive control over
exposure settings from the lens itself. If you need more reach, the 600mm is
compatible with the 1.4x and 2x RF Extenders for an effective focal length of
840mm or 1200mm, respectively.
Super-telephoto prime is designed
for use with full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless digital cameras.
Fixed f/11 aperture contributes to
the sleek and portable form factor as well as a balanced mixture of depth of
field and sharpness.
Gapless dual-layer diffractive
optics contribute to a marked reduction in chromatic and spherical aberrations
as well as benefit the design of a relatively compact and lightweight lens.
Retractable/extendable design,
with a locking lens barrel, offers an impressively compact form factor
considering the super-telephoto design.
An Optical Image Stabilizer helps
to minimize the appearance of camera shake by up to five stops to better enable
working in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds.
STM stepping motor offers fast,
quiet, smooth, and accurate autofocus performance that is ideal for video recording
as well as still shooting.
Configurable Control Ring can be
used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and
exposure compensation.
Compatible with optional Extender
RF 1.4x and Extender RF 2x teleconverters to further increase the effective
focal length.
