The Canon RF 600mm f/11 IS STM redefines what’s possible for a super-telephoto lens—delivering impressive reach in a remarkably lightweight and compact design. Perfect for wildlife, sports, and travel photographers, this lens combines advanced Canon optics with smart engineering to make handheld super-telephoto photography accessible to everyone.
The Super Portable Super-Telephoto
Compact Yet Powerful Design
Despite its 600mm focal length, the RF 600mm f/11 IS STM is designed for portability and convenience. Its retractable barrel with a locking mechanism allows the lens to collapse to a shorter, travel-friendly size when not in use. The fixed f/11 aperture helps maintain a slim profile while balancing sharpness and depth of field.
Advanced Optical Performance
Canon’s gapless dual-layer diffractive optics (DO) technology minimizes chromatic aberrations and color fringing, delivering clear, high-contrast images even at long distances. The innovative DO construction also contributes to the lens’s lightweight build without compromising image quality.
Sharp, Stable, and Smooth
An integrated Optical Image Stabilizer offers up to 5 stops of shake correction, allowing for sharper handheld shots even in low light. The STM stepping motor provides fast, smooth, and near-silent autofocus, making this lens equally suited for video recording and still photography.
Creative Control and Compatibility
The customizable Control Ring lets you quickly adjust key camera settings such as aperture, ISO, or exposure compensation right from the lens. For even more reach, the RF 600mm is compatible with Canon’s RF 1.4x and 2x extenders, extending your focal length to an incredible 840mm or 1200mm, respectively.
Ideal for On-the-Go Telephoto Shooting
Weighing just 930g (2.05 lbs), the RF 600mm f/11 IS STM is a game-changer for photographers who want super-telephoto power without the bulk. Its compact form makes it easy to carry during long hikes, safaris, or sports events—giving you professional results without compromise.
