Canon RF 600mm f/11 IS STM Lens

The Canon RF 600mm f/11 IS STM is a super-telephoto prime lens designed for Canon RF-mount mirrorless digital cameras. Here are its key features:

Compact and Lightweight Design:

The lens features a retractable design and a fixed f/11 aperture, making it exceptionally compact and lightweight for a super-telephoto lens. This portable form factor allows for handheld shooting, providing photographers with the flexibility to capture distant subjects without the need for a tripod.

Gapless Dual-Layer Diffractive Optics:

The lens incorporates advanced optical technology with gapless dual-layer diffractive optics. This innovative design significantly reduces chromatic and spherical aberrations, ensuring high clarity and image quality. By utilizing diffractive optics, the lens achieves a compact size without compromising optical performance.

Optical Image Stabilization:

An Optical Image Stabilizer (IS) is integrated into the lens, minimizing the effects of camera shake by up to five stops. This stabilization system enables sharp and steady images, especially when shooting in low-light conditions or at slower shutter speeds. It enhances the lens’s usability for handheld photography.

STM Stepping Motor:

The lens is equipped with an STM (Stepping Motor) autofocus system, providing fast, quiet, smooth, and accurate autofocus performance. This motor is well-suited for both still photography and video recording, ensuring that focusing is virtually silent and unobtrusive.

Configurable Control Ring:

The lens includes a configurable Control Ring, allowing users to adjust various exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation. This intuitive feature enhances the user’s control over the lens’s functions, providing a seamless shooting experience.

Compatibility with Extenders:

The lens is compatible with optional Extender RF 1.4x and Extender RF 2x teleconverters. When used with these teleconverters, the lens’s focal length can be further extended, providing additional reach for capturing distant subjects. With the 1.4x teleconverter, the effective focal length becomes 840mm, and with the 2x teleconverter, it becomes 1200mm.
