Description
Canon Extender RF 1.4x – Mirrorless Camera Lens Extender
The EXTENDER RF 1.4x is the perfect choice for enthusiast and professional photographers seeking more magnification from their RF lenses. Boosting focal length by 1.4x it is ideal for press, nature and sport photographers.
Extend the reach of select Canon RF-mount lenses with the Extender RF 1.4x. This teleconverter magnifies the image by 1.4x and retains full communication between the lens and camera body, enabling metering, autofocus, and image stabilization as well as the transmission of Exif data. Additionally, the Extender RF is dust and water resistant and has a heat shield exterior to ensure optimal performance in a range of conditions.
Lens Compatibility
RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM (can only be used within 300-500mm range)
RF 600mm f/11 IS STM
RF 800mm f/11 IS STM
The Extender RF 1.4x is the perfect choice for enthusiast and professional photographers seeking more magnification from their RF lenses. Boosting focal length by 1.4x it is ideal for press, nature and sport photographers.
More reach, no loss of image quality
The extender features high-refraction, low-dispersion glass to control curvature of field and chromatic aberration of magnification for the highest image quality.
Advanced lens design
As well as optimised lens coatings, a 3-layer combined lens helps to reduce ghosting by reducing the surfaces in contact with the air as much as possible.
Designed to perform in extremes
The exterior is coated in the same white heat shield coating as used on the RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1L IS USM and RF 70-200mm lens to prevent deterioration in performance in high temperatures.
Seamless integration with RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1L IS USM
A mechanism which limits the zooming of the RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1L IS USM zoom range (300 to 500 mm) prevents the lens elements hitting those of the extender.
Canon Extender RF
No compromise construction
Designed for reliability and durability with vibrational shock resistance plus dust and water resistance for use by professionals and high-end amateurs.
Optimum construction
7 lens elements, 4 groups
Compact design
71.2 x 20.3mm
Lightweight
Extends a super telephoto lens’ focal length by 1.4x, so that an 800mm focal length, for example, becomes 1 120mm. The extra reach makes it possible to get larger close-ups with the original camera resolution.
Dust and drip resistance design with white heat-shield coating
Supports High-precision and Fast AF
Excellent Flare and Ghosting Reduction
Canon Extender RF 1.4x
High Image Quality
A large aperture lens placed near the image sensor, the use of high-refractive, low-dispersion glass, and three cemented lenses that minimise air contact surface suppress field curvature, lens aberration and flare and ghosting, hence optimising corner-to-corner image quality.

Strength & Reliability
The lens features a vibration- and impact-resistant structure with a dust- and drip-resistant design, ready to withstand nature, motorsports, and other harsh professional and advanced shooting scenes.
Supporting heavy lenses is all in a day’s work for its robust, durable body.
AF Support
Shooting at super-long focal lengths means a shallower depth-of-field, which can make focusing tricky. On the Extender RF 1.4x, built-in microprocessors communicate with the lens, achieving high-precision AF over an area as large as up to 80% x 80% (horizontal x vertical) of the focal plane* helping you to lock focus on your subjects more easily.

Actual AF area depends on the lens, extender, and camera body.

The Extender EF 1.4X III from Canon is designed for select Canon EF mount L-series telephoto lenses. It increases the focal length of a lens by a factor of 1.4x while still delivering superb image quality. To ensure the best possible image quality in all shooting conditions, it combines redesigned optics, improved data communication between lens and camera and enhanced environmental protection. It is ideal for photojournalists and wildlife, nature and sports photographers who need to get close to distant and challenging subjects and it reduces the need to carry heavy telephoto lenses.
Super Spectra and Fluorine coatings
The Extender EF 1.4X III features seven optical elements in three groups and all optical elements have Canon’s Super Spectra coating to reduce ghosting and flare. A new Fluorine Coating on the front and rear elements makes marks, such as spots left by water or fingerprints, much easier to clean than standard coatings.

Capture balance, well-exposed images
To facilitate the accurate transfer of imaging data between the lens and camera body, the extender features an integrated processor which ensures all focusing, metering and ID information is available – allowing the photographer to capture balanced, well-exposed images. When combined with the latest range of premium Canon L-series lenses, these extenders enable AF accuracy even when capturing moving subjects. When attached, the 1.4x extender reduces the effective maximum aperture by one stop.
A carefully positioned lens release mechanism also makes it easy to mount the extenders quickly, reducing the time that the camera and lens are exposed to the environment. The extenders offer the exceptional build-quality expected from Canon’s professional products, and are resistant to both dust and water, allowing photographers to use them in extreme shooting conditions.
Note: This converter is only compatible with fixed focal length L-series lenses 135mm and over, as well as the EF 70-200/2.8L, EF 70-200/2.8L IS, EF 70-200/4L, and EF 100-400/4.5-5.6L. Additionally, please see your lens and/or camera body manual for full autofocus compatibility information with the Extender EF 1.4X III.
