CANON UNVEILS WORLD'S FIRST 800MM TELE-ZOOM

Plus a fast 24-105mm f72.8 and an ultra-wide zoom for the APS-C RF-S

- 

Canon has announced three new lenses, including two world-first optics: the RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 IS USM, which is the first 800mm super-telephoto zoom, and the RF 24-105mm f/2.8L IS USM Z, which increases the range of a 24-70mm trinity lens by 50% while retaining the f/2.8 aperture and optical performance.

At the other end of the performance and price - scale, Canon has announced the RF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM, the first ultra-wide lenses for its line of APS-C RF-mount cameras.

As if the RF 200-800mm's zoom range wasn't impressive enough, the lens is also compatible with Canon's RF 1.4x and 2x teleconverters, giving it an astounding maximum reach of 1600mm While this is one of Canon's 'Big White' telephotos, possessing weather sealing and a white exterior coating for heat dissipation, it's not an L-series lens. Instead, it's a relatively affordable super-telephoto that sits between the RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM and the RF 600mm f/11 IS STM - offering an incredible focal range without an incredible price. That reach is bolstered by an optical image stabilization system that offers up to 5.5 stops of compensation lens-only, and up to 7.5 stops when mounted to a camera featuring in-body image stabilization.
