The Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM delivers serious telephoto reach in a remarkably compact package. Built for Canon EOS R-series cameras, this telephoto zoom brings distant subjects closer while keeping your camera bag light. At just 635 grams (1.4 pounds), this lens makes wildlife photography, sports coverage, and travel shooting more accessible without sacrificing optical performance.
This lens offers a versatile 100-400mm zoom range that covers everything from portraits to distant action. With Nano USM autofocus, up to 6 stops of coordinated image stabilization, and compatibility with RF extenders, the RF 100-400mm provides flexibility that extends well beyond its modest price.
The RF 100-400mm combines thoughtful optical design with practical features for photographers who need reach without bulk. Canon designed this lens specifically for the RF mount, allowing for optical configurations that deliver strong sharpness across the entire zoom range.
Reviews consistently highlight this lens's sharpness throughout the zoom range. The single Ultra Low Dispersion element helps control chromatic aberration, while the optical design minimizes distortion and delivers good contrast even at maximum apertures.
The 9-blade rounded aperture produces pleasing background blur for subject isolation. While the f/8 maximum aperture at 400mm is slower than professional telephotos, it's paired with high-performance stabilization that helps maintain sharp images at slower shutter speeds. Photographers working in good light conditions report excellent results for wildlife, sports, and travel photography.
Canon equipped this lens with Nano USM technology, a dual-motor system that combines the speed of ring-type USM with the smoothness of STM. The result is autofocus that's both fast and nearly silent, with smooth transitions for video work.
The RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM lens incorporates a Control Ring on the lens barrel that can directly adjust numerous settings including shutter speed, aperture, ISO, exposure compensation and more. Located towards the front of the lens it effectively adds a third dial to EOS R and RP cameras, and a fourth dial to cameras such as EOS R5 and R6 cameras. With a tactile, easily distinguished surface and a clicking mechanism that provides tangible feedback for confident use while looking through the viewfinder, the control ring adds outstanding connection to any shooting scenario.
The built-in optical image stabilizer provides 5.5 stops of shake correction on its own. When paired with EOS R5, EOS R6, or other RF cameras featuring in-body stabilization, the coordinated system delivers 6 stops of correction. This level of stabilization opens up handheld shooting opportunities at focal lengths and shutter speeds that would typically require tripod support.
The RF 100-400mm features a polycarbonate construction with a metal lens mount. While it lacks the weather sealing of L-series lenses, the build quality is solid with tight tolerances and smooth operation. The lens extends significantly when zooming to 400mm, but the extending barrel shows no play or looseness.
A lock switch at the 100mm position prevents zoom creep during transport or when carrying the camera pointed downward. The broad zoom ring operates smoothly, and the manual focus ring provides good feedback for precise adjustments. The AF/MF switch allows quick focusing mode changes without accessing camera menus.
To help get you even closer to the subject, attach the compatible optional Canon RF extenders to the RF100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM and get the equivalent of 560mm focal length coverage with the Extender RF1.4x, or 800mm using the Extender RF2x. In fact, the RF100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM is the first non-L-series Canon lens with tele extender compatibility, helping transform the lens into an incredibly powerful telephoto combination, with relatively modest additional size and weight. This added flexibility and versatility helps make the RF100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM an amazing option for nature photography and more.
With the RF 1.4x extender, you gain an effective 140-560mm range at f/8-11. The RF 2.x extender provides 200-800mm at f/11-16. While these slower apertures limit low-light performance, they expand your reach dramatically for situations where light permits. Autofocus remains functional with both extenders, though speed may decrease in lower contrast situations.
This lens serves photographers across multiple genres. Wildlife photographers appreciate the combination of reach and portability for hiking to remote locations. Sports photographers working in daylight conditions find the autofocus tracking keeps pace with fast action. Travel photographers value having telephoto capabilities without the weight penalty of larger lenses.
The RF 100-400mm also works well for bird photography, air shows, motorsports, and landscape detail work. Its close focusing capability at 400mm allows for frame-filling shots of subjects roughly the size of a credit card, opening possibilities for nature details and creative compositions.
The variable aperture means f/5.6 at 100mm and f/8 at 400mm. In bright conditions, this presents no limitations. As light decreases, you'll need to raise ISO or accept slower shutter speeds. The robust image stabilization helps compensate when shooting static subjects. For action in low light, faster lenses provide an advantage, but this lens handles well-lit situations without compromise.
Yes. This is Canon's first non-L-series lens compatible with RF extenders. Both the RF 1.4x and RF 2x work across the entire zoom range with no cropping or restrictions, providing 140-560mm or 200-800mm reach respectively.
Many professionals use this lens as a lightweight travel option or as a complement to heavier telephotos. While it lacks weather sealing and the faster apertures of professional zooms, its optical performance, autofocus speed, and portability make it a practical choice for assignments where weight and discretion matter.
The RF 100-400mm provides longer reach while remaining compact and lightweight. The trade-off is starting at 100mm rather than 70mm, and having a slower maximum aperture. Photographers who primarily shoot at longer focal lengths will find the RF 100-400mm delivers more versatility, while those needing wider coverage might prefer a 24-240mm or keep a shorter zoom available.
The 5.5-stop optical stabilization (6 stops with IBIS cameras) performs reliably for handheld telephoto work. Photographers report sharp results at shutter speeds significantly slower than the traditional 1/focal length guideline. This stabilization makes a noticeable difference when shooting at 400mm without tripod support.
The Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM combines telephoto reach, portability, and optical performance in a package that makes serious wildlife and sports photography more accessible. Whether you're tracking birds, capturing distant landscapes, or documenting action, this lens delivers the reach you need without the weight you don't.
