A trio of innovative lenses from Canon

Canon has announced three new lenses for the EOS R mirrorless camera system, expanding the range of optics available for enthusiast and professional photographers, videographers and filmmakers alike.   • RF 200-800mm f6.3-9 IS USM is a super-telephoto lens that looks like an L-series, is robust like an L-series, but without the L-series price tag. Ideal for enthusiast nature and sports photographers, the RF 200-800mm is the longest reaching zoom for the EOS R system, which can be extended even further with the use of Canon's teleconverters, the Extender RF 1.4x and 2x. It offers image stabilisation with a benefit of 5.5 stops, which increases to 7.5 stops when used with compatible IBIS (in-body image stabilisation) equipped cameras. Weighing just over 2kg, and with a trumpet-type design, this lens can be used handheld to capture distant and otherwise inaccessible subjects. RRP: £2299.99 / €2619.99 Full specifications and press release for the RF 200-800mm f6.3-9 IS USM lens   • R
