Rated 5 out of 5

Absolutely amazing lens

Focal length is so versatile for any kind of sports photography. Lightweight and easy to handhold or use on a monopod. Helps capture the "in-betweeners" I used to miss.

The missing Link.

I rented 2 of these lenses for a recent shoot with Cirque du Soleil. They performed phenomenally! Usually we are limited to our 24-70 and 70-200 2.8 lenses...and rarely will bring along a 300mm 2.8 beast. However, this lens proved to be the missing link with what we've needed for years! Along with the new 24-105 2.8 RF lenses this was an AMAZING shoot! Thanks Canon! You read my mind.

Ideal for Indoor Sports

I mostly shoot indoor swimming and water polo, and this is my dream come true. I used to use a 300/2.8 and a 70-200/2.8 but would have to pass on great shots with the 300 on as being too tight. Other shots would require a lot of cropping if I had the 70-200 on. The new 100-300 is simply perfect. The lens is well built but still light. Hand holding with an R5 is no problem. Thanks Canon!

Only need 1 lens for sports now, replaces my EF 300 2.8

The Canon RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM, brings zooming capabilities to the proven 300mm f/2.8 concept. This lens is aimed directly at professional and very high-end video and still-image users that want gorgeous background bokeh that makes imagery "pop", such as theater work, event candid's at a distance, indoor sports like swimming, gymnastics, and basketball.

High-Performance Constant f/2.8 Maximum Aperture
It is no easy feat, but this lens offers an incredible f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the entire zoom range, giving you all the benefits that incorporates from great low-light performance to incredible bokeh and fast shutter speeds.

Excellent Image Quality - Lenses and Coatings
The Canon RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM offers excellent optical quality, edge-to-edge. Its optical design includes one fluorite lens, 4 UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) glass elements, fluorine coating, and Canon SSC (Super Spectra Coating) to minimize ghosting and flare.

Optical Image Stabilization - Up to 5.5 Stops of Shake Correction
For consistently sharp results, the RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM features built-in optical Image Stabilization, providing enhanced shake reduction for up to 5.5 stops of shake correction. When paired with an EOS R-series camera that has In Body Image Stabilization (IBIS), the Coordinated IS allows for up to 6 stops of correction. This means more reliable handheld performance and clearer detail in low-light situations, without having to increase the ISO or decrease the shutter speed.

Dual USM Focusing System
The Canon RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM offers incredible focus speed and accuracy throughout the entire focus range thanks to dual Nano USMs that are independently actuated (especially useful when tracking moving subjects). This design even helps makes the weight of the lens more balanced reducing fatigue when held by hand.

Control Ring For Direct Setting Changes
The RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM lens incorporates a Control ring on the lens barrel that can directly adjust numerous settings including shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation and more. Located towards the front of the lens and effectively adding a third dial to the EOS R camera's main dial and quick control dial.

Just Add Lightness
Coming in at just under 6 lbs (5.8lbs), the RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM lens is the lightest f/2.8 300mm zoom lens on the market. Certainly light enough to hand-hold for short periods of time.

Focus Preset Button
The lens features a focus preset button near the back of the lens for easy reach with a finger on your right hand during use. This allows you to pre-focus on the spot that you expect action, and immediately jump to the memorized position via the focus preset button. Full AF or manual focus operation remains available, as well. There is a sliding switch on the barrel that allows you to program the AF preset, recall it, or you can slide the switch to "L-Fn" to utilize that button as a programmable function button instead.

Function Buttons
The front of the lens features function preset buttons so you can program a specific function to occur at the press of one of the buttons (there are four buttons surrounding the lens so there is always one within reach, they all perform the same preset function).

9-Blade Circular Aperture For Beautiful Bokeh
The RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM lens incorporates a Control ring on the lens barrel that can directly adjust numerous settings including shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation and more. Located towards the front of the lens and effectively adding a third dial to the EOS R camera's main dial and quick control dial.

Compatible with Extenders
To help get you even closer to the subject, attach the compatible Extender RF1.4x or Extender RF2x to the RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM. Expand effective telephoto power to 140-420mm at f/4 with the Extender RF1.4x, or to effective 200-600mm at f/5.6 using the Extender RF2x. The extenders allow even more telephoto reach when it's needed, yet allow the user to convert back to an f/2.8 lens for low-light situations by simply removing the extender.

Dust and Weather-Resistant Design, With Fluorine Coating On Front Element For Easy Cleaning
Built to L series lens specifications, the RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM features a highly durable design for excellent performance even in inclement weather conditions. It delivers a dust and water-resistant construction with seals around the mount, switches, rings and more. To help maintain a clean lens in sub-optimal conditions, the RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM has a specially designed fluorine coating on its front surface. The coating helps to prevent water, oil and other surface residue like fingerprints from sticking to the lens, which facilitates quick and easy wiping, without the use of solvents.

Canon RF 100-300mm f/2.8 L USM Features

  • Telephoto zoom lens that builds on the legacy of the popular EF300mm f/2.8 lens
  • Fast f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the whole zoom range for great control over depth of field, bokeh, and low-light shooting with fast and reliable autofocus
  • Excellent image quality: highlights include one fluorite lens, and 4 UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) glass elements, fluorine coating, and Canon SSC (Super Spectra Coating) to minimize ghosting and flare
  • Built-in function/focus preset selector switch allows you to program a focus preset recall into the buttons at the front of the lens
  • Optical image stabilization - up to 5.5 stops of shake correction. Up to 6.0 stops Coordinated IS when paired with EOS R series cameras featuring In-Body Image Stabilizer (IBIS)
  • 2 Nano USMs achieves outstanding image quality throughout the focusing range, from infinity to close-up thanks to 2 focusing groups that are independently actuated
  • Dedicated, programmable Control Ring, with click-stop operation
  • Impressively light at only 5.8 lbs., which makes it the lightest f/2.8 zoom lens with a 300mm focal length on the market
  • Circular (9 blades) aperture for beautiful, soft backgrounds
