{"product_id":"canon-rf-400mm-f-2-8l-is-usm-lens","title":"Canon RF 400mm f\/2.8L IS USM Lens","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Canon RF 400mm f\/2.8L IS USM Lens is the definitive fast super-telephoto prime for EOS R-series mirrorless cameras, combining an exceptional f\/2.8 maximum aperture with Canon's most advanced stabilisation and autofocus technologies in a design that is lighter and more manageable than its DSLR predecessor. At f\/2.8, it gathers twice the light of f\/4 alternatives, enabling dramatically faster shutter speeds to freeze motion, cleaner high-ISO performance in poor light, and shallower depth of field to isolate subjects against richly blurred backgrounds — advantages that matter enormously when photographing wildlife at dusk, athletes under floodlights, or subjects in unpredictable natural conditions across southern Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOptical image stabilisation across multiple selectable modes delivers up to 5.5 stops of shake compensation, and when coordinated with the in-body stabilisation of compatible EOS R bodies, the combined system provides exceptional handheld stability at a focal length where even minor camera movement is ordinarily amplified. A Dual Power Focus Drive system executes autofocus with striking speed and near-silent precision, keeping erratic subjects locked even when they change direction abruptly — critical for birds in flight, sprinting wildlife, and ball-sport action. Full-time Manual Focus override allows instant, smooth intervention without switching modes, giving you complete creative control in mixed shooting scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lens construction is finished in Canon's distinctive heat-resistant white paint, which reflects solar radiation to maintain stable optical performance in hot outdoor conditions, and the barrel carries full dust- and moisture-resistant sealing throughout. A fluorine coating on the front element repels water, oil, and fingerprints, keeping the glass clean and performant through demanding field sessions. Compatible with Canon RF 1.4x and 2x extenders, the RF 400mm f\/2.8L IS USM can extend to 560mm or 800mm reach while retaining autofocus on all compatible EOS R bodies. Available now from Foto Digital World in Pretoria with nationwide delivery across South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55130002260267,"sku":"5053C005AA","price":258995.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/2975\/0827\/files\/canon-rf-400mm-f2-8l-is-usm-lens-front.webp?v=1788098489","url":"https:\/\/www.fotodigitalworld.co.za\/products\/canon-rf-400mm-f-2-8l-is-usm-lens","provider":"Foto Digital World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
