Canon RF 800mm F11 IS STM Super Telephoto Lens

I bought thos lens with a view to taking longer range wildlife pictures, with a 600mm it was always at maximum focal length so an additional 200mm wouldn't go a miss .

It is very light and can be fitted with the Extender RF2 giving additional distance advantage.

It only has one focal length but that isn't a problem baring in mind it's intended use.

I bought this lens a few weeks ago and have now had time to test it out on a few occasions. I have been thoroughly impressed so far with the lens. I use it with the canon r10 and the image quality has been excellent. I bought the lens mainly for wildlife photography and the results have been brilliant. Even with it being f11 the quality has been excellent with brilliant detail. I have also used it for landscape shots, taking some pics of the Bass rock of the coast of North Berwick. The Bass Rock is 3.5 miles out at sea and the lens got some stunning shots zooming closely in on the lighthouse and captured it really crisp and clear. Looking forward to getting out with this lens more and seeing what I can capture with it.

Good day everyone, I purchased this lens to photograph wildlife in various environments where a far distance must be kept in order to not scary animals or to be safe myself, as in the case of a wolf pack, when it's better to stay away, especially when alone. As I am a wildlife photographer (based in central Europe) my usual photo-targets consist of all kinds of birds, mammals big and small and at some rare occasions a reptile or two. I am very satisfied as the lens gives me superb results, and makes the photos shot a really high quality works of art. I am fascinated by its reach (1280 milimiters with the Canon R10's APS-C multiplier) and the fact that it shots easily even handheld being so incredibly lightweight as for a 1280mm. The fact that it allows bird eye autofocus is a proverbial icing on the cake. When it collapses for travel it fits perfectly into my Canon 200 EG backpack even mounted to the Canon R10 body! It is a beast of a lens (postively) and I strongly recommend for wildlife.

Easy to use, my first long lens. My photo of the moon even caught the craters when I zoomed in. Magical!

I bought this lens at the same time as the R7. The results are beyond my dreams. I have great reach and stability. I can even take photographs hand held although I do like to use some support e.g. a wall or tree to lean against.

I got the canon rf 800 mm 6 weeks ago and have to say it’s a very impressive lens and along with my canon R7 it works a treat for wildlife photography

Its transformed my whole approach to bird photography! Coupled with the new R7 it is lightweight, eye focus is brilliant, no tripod needed as stabiliser is awesome .A brilliant lens!

The lens works well. It is light enough and folds down to a good size for portability. The only issue I had was getting over excited with 800mm and not appreciating it is f11. But once I started using it as 800mm/f11 lens, the results were perfect.

I purchased this lens not knowing what i would get, a lens that works great or something i wont use much as it has to be a really sunny day to use it. Well, i took it out one evening to take pictures of a Barn Owl out on the prowl and it took great, sharp images. I did need to boost exposure post processing but i am so pleased with the results i am going to ignore all those remarks expressing this lens is not as good as it is.

I love this lens, it is light weight and gives you that extra reach when you need it. I often use it when at the beach for the waders that are too far out to get with other lenses.
