Key Features

• Optical Image Stabilization: The lens is equipped with a 5.5-stop Optical Image Stabilizer, compensating for camera shake and allowing for handheld shooting in low-light conditions. When paired with Canon's EOS R5 or R6 cameras, the coordinated IS system provides up to 8 stops of shake correction, enhancing stability during handheld shooting.

This design ensures sharp, high-contrast images with accurate color reproduction, even in challenging lighting conditions.
  
• Fast and Quiet Autofocus: The Nano USM autofocus system delivers fast, smooth, and nearly silent focusing, making it ideal for both still photography and videography. This system allows for quick subject acquisition and minimal focus noise, ensuring sharp and clear images of moving subjects.
  
• Weather-Sealed Construction: Designed to withstand the elements, the RF 135mm f/1.8L IS USM lens features weather-sealed construction, protecting it from dust and moisture. This durability is especially beneficial for outdoor photography in New Zealand's varied climates.
