The Canon 800mm f5.6 L IS USM is a super-telephoto lens for uncompromising performance.

The magnesium alloy construction of the Canon 800mm makes it a lightweight super-telephoto option. Superior Canon optics provide excellent image quality whilst minimising lens dimensions. The EF 800mm f 5.6L IS USM incorporates Canon’s highest standard of precision optics. The L-series is Canon’s flagship lens range, combining outstanding image quality with exceptional operability.

Canon’s 4-stop compensation Image Stabilizer technology allows the use of shutter speeds up to 4 times slower with no perceptible increase in image blur. Automatic panning detection turns off the Image Stabilizer in either the horizontal or vertical direction when following moving subjects. Tripod detection automatically improves the functionality of the Image Stabilizer when shooting on a tripod.

The Aspherical, Fluorite, UD and Super UD elements create crisp, high contrast and undistorted image quality all the way to the edge of the frame. At just 4.5Kg, the EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM is a relatively lightweight super-telephoto lens, suitable for limited hand-held shooting.

The Canon 800mm features Ring USM auto focus with manual override.

Canon’s ring USM auto focus system employs ultra-sonic frequency vibrations for fast, accurate and virtually silent operation with excellent positioning control. Full-time manual focus override, via a large ring that does not rotate during auto focus, allows photographers to begin fine-tuning a shot instantly. A circular aperture delivers smooth, even-looking bokeh (background blur) ideal for isolating subjects at large aperture.
