Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM: was $2,899 now $2,599 at BHPhoto

SAVE $300 at B&H. This 100-500mm telephoto zoom offers you versatile reach in a professional L-series build. It is perfect if you are an EOS R-series shooter, working with the EOS R5 or R6 camera, and are looking for a high-quality performance optic.

The Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM is known for its hefty price tag, making this deal even more tempting. It is one of the best Canon telephoto zoom lenses, designed for Canon's EOS R-series cameras.

This lens is a favorite among wildlife, sports, and aviation photographers who need reach and versatility in one package. With its impressive 100-500mm focal range, you're covered for everything from sweeping landscapes and intimate close-ups to fast-paced action shots. It's the kind of lens that adapts to your creative vision, whether you're tracking birds in flight or capturing the thrill of the game.

Crafted with Canon's legendary L-series quality, this lens is a stellar build. To get the best performance and fastest AF (autofocus) – especially for capturing fast-moving subjects – pair it with the advanced AF and IBIS (in-body image stabilization) systems of the EOS R5 or R6.

One thing to keep in mind is that the aperture narrows as you zoom in. Unlike the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens, which holds f/5.6 at 400mm, the RF 100-500mm lens stops down to f/7.1 at 500mm. It's a slight trade-off for the extra reach you get, but that's a point that's often worth it for the flexibility and performance you get.

Given the hefty original price tag, this deal is a great offer to invest in this 100-500 telephoto zoom. If it is your first one, you will notice a difference in framing and will be amazed at how close you can get to the wildlife or sports action with this lens.
