Canon RF600/11 is STM(N)

An innovative addition to the RF lineup, the RF 600mm F11 IS STM super-telephoto lens offers an impressive 600mm focal length, making it the first compact and lightweight 600mm super-telephoto lens in its category. This lens is a perfect match for photographers interested in bird, wildlife, outdoor sports, and aviation photography. Its compact size and retractable design make it highly portable and easy to store in a camera bag. The built-in optical image stabilization, offering up to 5 stops of shake correction, ensures clear, sharp images whether you're shooting handheld or with a monopod.

The RF600mm F11 IS STM lens is compatible with RF 1.4X or 2.0X teleconverters, allowing you to extend your focal length to 840mm or 1200mm respectively. This lens is a game-changer in terms of portability and affordability, making super-telephoto photography accessible to a wider range of photographers. The extending/retracting locking lens barrel design further enhances portability. When not in use, the lens can be retracted to a compact size for easy storage. When you're ready to shoot, simply extend the lens barrel and lock it in place for stability. The lens features gapless double-layer Diffractive Optics (DO) that effectively reduce chromatic aberration, resulting in high-quality, clear, and detailed images.

The use of one DO lens, which has the optical characteristics of multiple lenses, contributes to the lens's lightweight design. Despite its fixed f/11 aperture, the RF600mm lens delivers high image quality. The use of diffractive optic elements significantly reduces chromatic aberration, ensuring clear images with minimal color fringing. The lens's built-in optical image stabilization, offering up to 5 stops of shake correction, ensures steady and clear images, even when shooting with a super-telephoto lens. This feature is particularly useful when shooting handheld or with a monopod. The lens also features a lead screw-type STM focus motor, ensuring smooth and quiet autofocus, ideal for both still-image and video shooting.

This feature is particularly useful when capturing wildlife, as it reduces the chance of disturbing the subject. Like all RF lenses, the RF600mm lens comes with a customizable control ring, allowing you to change settings like shutter speed, aperture, and ISO while still looking through the viewfinder. The lens also features a 12-pin communication system, enabling fast autofocus calculations, impressive image stabilization, and control ring adjustments. The RF600mm lens is compatible with both the RF Extender 1.4 x and RF Extender 2x, allowing you to extend your reach up to 840mm or 1200mm.

This added flexibility makes the RF600mm an excellent choice for landscape, wildlife, and sports photography.
