Sharp images
Four-stop, tripod-sensing image stabilization
L-series build quality
Canon’s longest super-telephoto in production
Sharpness and Image Stabilization. The Canon 800mm f/5.6L IS is every bit as sharp as the other Canon super telephoto lenses, and it provides a full four stops of image stabilization. This can be important in a lens this long even when it’s mounted on a tripod, due to vibration from things as minor as mirror slap.
Our lenses do not come with a tripod plate, please rent one here if you need one.
PLEASE NOTE:
Unlike our other lenses, the super telephoto lenses will be shipped in soft cases which can be used to transport the lens during your rental period.
