From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Canon EF 600mm is a super-telephoto lens made by Canon Inc. The lens has an EF mount to work with the EOS line of cameras. It was initially released as a f/4L USM lens in November 1988 for a price of 923,000 yen. [1] In September 1999 an image stabilised (IS) version of the lens was released for 1,290,000 yen.[2] The new IS version's lens construction increased the number of lens groups and elements, and the weight reduced from 6kg to 5.36kg.[2][1] These lenses are compatible with the Canon Extender EF teleconverters.
