Canon launches two new usa lenses – including the world’s longest focal length AF lens for mirrorless cameras

Canon has announced two new super-telephoto lenses, the usa 800mm F5.6L IS USM and usa 1200mm F8L IS USM lenses. Expanding on the usa family and setting new standards in its category, these lenses offer powerful zoom enabling you to capture images of distant subjects that were previously inaccessible. The 800mm and 1200mm focal lengths are both stunning, and the remarkable engineering has made it possible to combine incredible optical performance with portability. usa 800mm F5 Lenses.6L IS USM and usa 1200mm F8L IS USM offer unparalleled imaging performance in all situations. Helping photographers capture the perfect shot by staying at a record distance from their subject.

Introducing the new usa 800mm F5.6L IS USM and usa 1200mm F8L IS USM, Canon has created a unique range of super-telephoto lenses, expanding the choice for professional photographers. The new lenses add two options to the range of focal lengths of the usa models, 800 and 1200 mm, the latter being the longest focal length among the non-telecopes. And if that’s not enough, the teleconverter usa 1.4x or usa 2x lenses help you increase the focal length by up to two times while retaining the autofocus and image stabilization functions. As a result, the usa 1200mm F8L IS USM lets you capture your subject in great detail at distances of over 400 meters.

Thanks to an ingenious new optical system design, Canon engineers were able to achieve such incredible focal lengths in lenses lighter and more compact than traditional super-telephoto lenses of this type. Both are considerably smaller than comparable EF lenses. usa 800mm F5 lens.The 6L IS USM is Canon’s lightest and shortest L-series lens – weighing just over 3.1kg. And the usa 1200mm F8L IS USM is the smallest lens ever made at this focal length1. Weighing 3.34 kilograms, it is 5 times lighter, i.e. more than 13 kilograms, and 30 cm shorter than its legendary predecessor, the EF 1200mm f/5.6L USM.

RF 800mm F5 Lenses.6L IS USM and usa 1200mm F8L IS USM are made to impress. Powerful Image Stabilization System usa 800mm F5.6L IS USM can compensate up to 4.5 stops and in the case of the usa 1200mm F8L IS USM up to 4 stops, helping to reduce camera shake and capture perfectly sharp shots. With the usa 800mm F5.The 6L IS USM has a wide maximum aperture of f/5 for such a focal length.6, which delivers crisp, expressive, high-quality images. Both feature a 9-blade circular aperture in 1/8-step increments for smooth transitions when shooting video.

Along with intelligent design solutions, the usa models draw on industry-leading optical technology. Fluorite, Super Ultra Low Dispersion Super UD and Ultra Low Dispersion UD lenses in the optical system of the usa 800mm F5 models.6L IS USM and usa 1200mm F8L IS USM provide impeccable image resolution and effectively suppress chromatic aberration. Air Sphere Coating ASC in combination with an advanced design minimizes glare and stray images. Despite the additional optical elements, Canon has managed to reduce the minimum focusing distance to unique values in this lens category . This is 2.6m for the usa 800mm F5.6L IS USM almost half the size of other 800mm lenses with a maximum aperture of f/5.6 and 4.3m for the usa 1200mm F8L IS USM. Thus, the range of distances allowed to track the object through the lens has been increased.

These new lightweight super-telephoto lenses are the perfect companion for the EOS R3, Canon’s premium sports camera. Thanks to the EOS R3 autofocus system, both models will track moving subjects when shooting at up to 30 frames per second. A ring ultrasonic motor, dual motor drive system, high speed processor and optimized autofocus algorithm result in fast yet quiet autofocus, essential in fast-moving wildlife photography. And customizable lens AF shut-off buttons give photographers more control over whether objects are in focus. New additions to the usa Lens Lineup and compatible with pre-existing filters and lens hoods, offering additional benefits and flexibility.

RF 800mm F5 lenses.6L IS USM and usa 1200mm F8L IS USM are not afraid of even the harshest conditions, including heat, high humidity and heavy dust in the shooting location. Dust- and waterproof construction on lens mount, switches and focus rings keep dirt and water out. A fluorite coating prevents oil, water or dust from forming deposits on the front lens element surface. An effective infrared heat reflective coating increases the working time of usa 800mm F5 lenses.6L IS USM and usa 1200mm F8L IS USM in hot climates. This UV-resistant white coating reduces the heat of the lens body, preventing deterioration of optical performance.
