Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS III Lens

An exceptional super-telephoto performance

The world’s lightest 600mm f/4 lens,* delivering outstanding image quality and a polished professional performance. A five-stop Image Stabilizer lets you shoot handheld, letting you react more quickly.

Great for Wildlife
The EF 600mm f/4L IS III USM lets you maintain your distance, photographing wildlife in its native habitat without scaring it away. It’s also a great lens for photographing birds in flight.

Great for Sport
When play is taking place a long way off, the super telephoto focal length of the EF 600mm f/4L IS III USM lets you capture action shots in incredible detail, as if you were on the pitch yourself.

Great for Reportage
Capture superb quality images of the most distant subjects. And because this is the world’s lightest 600mm f/4 lens,* it can be used handheld and transported easily between locations.

Superb Image Quality
The EF 600mm f/4L IS III delivers ultra-high sharpness and very low levels of distortion. Fluorite lens elements reduce coloured fringing and boost resolution and contrast.

Built to Travel
An advanced optical formula not only boosts image quality, but also makes the EF 600mm f/4L IS III more portable, making it easier to use on location.

Focus Quickly & Accurately
Sharp focus is achieved quickly and quietly, using ring-type USM autofocus. Dynamic subjects are tracked accurately as they move about the frame.

Shoot Handheld
With its radical lightweight design and five-stop Image Stabilizer, the EF 600mm f/4L IS III can be used without support, even with such powerful telephoto magnifications.

Shoot Smarter
Fingertip controls allow AF to be started, stopped or momentarily locked. Two pre-programmed focusing positions can be recalled instantly with the touch of a button.
