-
$6,081.00
The Canon 600mm f/4 L IS II USM EF-Mount Lens is a premium super-telephoto prime lens engineered for professional sports, wildlife, and news photographers who demand exceptional reach and image quality. Part of Canon's elite L-series lineup, this lens delivers unmatched optical performance with a robust and lightweight magnesium-alloy construction.
Featuring a large f/4 maximum aperture, the lens excels in low-light conditions and enables beautifully shallow depth of field for isolating subjects against creamy, out-of-focus backgrounds. Its optical formula includes two fluorite lens elements that reduce chromatic aberrations and enhance contrast and edge-to-edge sharpness-even at maximum aperture.
The built-in Optical Image Stabilizer offers up to four stops of correction, dramatically increasing handheld and monopod usability. A high-speed ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) provides fast, near-silent autofocus with full-time manual override. Built-in focus preset and memory recall functions allow quick, intuitive shooting of fast-moving subjects. Dust- and weather-sealing make it reliable in extreme environments, while its lighter build (compared to its predecessor) improves maneuverability in the field.
