Overview

The Canon EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM Autofocus Lens is the longest telephoto lens among Canon's lineup, and a terrific choice for any long-distance application-outdoor sports, wildlife, news photojournalism, and so on. It's actually lighter than Canon's EF 600mm f/4L IS lens, weighing just under 10 lbs. It uses a refined optical design, with two fluorite lens elements, one UD element, and one Super-UD-glass element, for outstanding correction of color fringing and superb contrast and sharpness. This super-telephoto lens uses magnesium-alloy barrel construction to enhance its light weight, and has weather-resistant gaskets throughout for use in harsh conditions. It's compatible with both the EF 1.4x II and 2x II tele extenders for even more reach: EOS cameras with 45 AF points will continue to provide autofocus at the center AF point when the lens is used with the 1.4x extender. Finally, it's image stabilized, providing up to 4 stops of correction for camera shake. This makes it even more practical in many situations.

I explore the outdoors and as a professional photographer I need only the best lenses for my job. Sure its a bit expensive but when you look at the quality of the lens you are getting you can't be disappointed. The auto focus is very fast and surprisingly quiet which is great in shooting animals in their natural state. Even in poor conditions the lens performs perfectly. I really couldn't ask for a better professional photographer's lens and Canon provides that with the EF 800mm.

That configuration may have two single elements and the other four grouped in pairs. View All Attribute Definitions
