    • Excellent Lens for the Wildlife Curious with a few things to consider
Review Image by Alberto Alanis Alberto Alanis
Review Image by Alberto Alanis Alberto Alanis
Pros • Affordable ( Compared to most other wildlife lenses) • Extremely Light (Able to be handheld) • Great Image Quality • Insane 800MM Range ( for the price and in general) • Good AF • Compact (compared to others) • GREAT in sunny conditions Cons • F11 (Can sometimes be a pain) • Limited Auto Focus Area • Not Weatherproof • Good in cloudy conditions. Bad in gloomy/dark/shadow conditions • Autofocus might not be fast enough for fast moving subjects • no zoom When I say "a few things to consider", don't let that fool you into thinking it's a bad lens. Every lens has a drawback, you just have to work around those limits. Sure the RF 400mm f2.8 or RF 600mm F4 are much better in terms of image quality and you can open up the aperture to shoot in darker conditions, but for most people, they aren't worth $11,000 more than the RF 800MM. Plus, they almost weigh 3x more than the RF800. What you get here is basically a fantastic "Starting Wildlife Lens" that costs less than 10% of the best wildlife lenses, but performs 80-90% as good as the best wildlife lenses and will help you learn the rules of wildlife photography. The biggest rules with this lens are... 1. Get as close as you can to isolate the subject (blur the background) 2. Try to shoot during sunset/sunrise only (Having an F11 means you need direct sunlight for most shots so you don't have to crank your ISO up too high) 3. Have the background be FAR away from the subject to get a blurred background. I learned these rules by simply searching on Youtube for bird photography help. The best two educators on bird photography I like the best so far are Duade Paton and Jan Wegener. Using their tips, I was able to quickly capture the quality photographs I have attached. Go check them out! In conclusion, once you master some basic wildlife photography rules, you'll probably never need to upgrade this lens. But if you really love wildlife photography and wish to upgrade in the future, you'll be ready with all the experience you learned while using this lens. ... show more

    • A great lens...in good light...
I love this lens. Canon has managed to fit 800mm of reach, very good image quality, relatively light weight, relatively small size, and a reasonable price into the same package. That said, compromises in the form of a fixed f/11 aperture and no weather resistance were required. Worth the trade in my opinion. Used properly within its specifications it produces spectacular images. Autofocus is limited to the central region of the frame, but is responsive and accurate within that space. In bright daylight high quality bird-in-flight pictures are easy. As the clouds roll in or you find yourself in otherwise shady areas it’s probably better to select stationary or slower moving subjects as maintaining a high shutter speed will drive your ISO through the roof rapidly. Want to shoot handheld at night? Just don’t. For a lens aimed at amateurs and enthusiasts getting the most out of it requires some pro technique. Careful framing to allow autofocus and subject separation from the background, awareness of the direction and intensity of available light, and well-chosen camera settings (including the metering mode) to ensure the shutter speed is optimized for image stability and your choice of subject. Still, as far as capability and usability for the price, as of this writing nothing else comes close. Highly recommended. ... show more

I wanted to review this since I agonized over the purchase for 2 months. I've been using an adapted 100-400 zoom with a 1.4x extender. Though I get great images with that combination, there are still subjects that are too far away. I was debating on a 2x extender or this lens. Both have been back-ordered and this lens was back in stock first so I took a chance. Before I get into the pros and cons, I will start by saying that I would recommend this lens as long as you understand what you are getting yourself into. It isn't as well built nor does it produce the image quality of an L lens but it costs 1/3 of what my 100-400 cost. It is also infinitely less expensive than a prime L. Pros: -Reasonably fast focusing. I was able to attempt some birds in flight photos. I was able to track and take pictures but there was not enough light for higher shutter speeds that are necessary for clear images. -Lighter than an L lens since there is not as much glass nor is there much metal. The only noticeable metal is the mounting ring. -800mm for an incredibly reasonable cost. I was able to take some image that I would not have even attempted with my 100-400 w/1.4x costing much more. -Decent image quality. My first outing was an overcast morning and I was hand-holding. Though I got some reasonable images, there was some obvious camera shake. Based on the Grebe chick image I included that was taken with some sunlight, hand held shots are possible. A monopod is recommended. Cons: -Center focus area. This isn't an issue for distant subjects. It does become an issue if the subject is a little closer. I am used to the edge-to-edge focusing on my R5. There were some situations where I could not get eye focus if I wanted to frame my subject properly. I could have swapped out for my other lens but that is at the risk of missing a shot. -f/11 aperture. Having stated that, it isn't really an issue in my case nor would it be an issue if you own an R6 as well. You can really push the ISO on the R5 and R6 before noise becomes a problem. The Cinnamon Teal was at 2500 ISO. Anything below 8000 is fine on my R5. On this overcast day, the highest ISO reached was 6400 and that was because my shutter speed was at 1250 for 'action' shots. Lowest ISO was 800 at 1/320 shutter speed. I could have gone slower but would have likely encountered worse camera shake. -Not as well built as an L. It doesn't seem 'cheap' as I have seen it described but the jury is out on how long this lens will last. More important, it is not weather proofed. I can also see potential issues with the slide mechanism used to put the lens in shooting mode. Sand or dirt could cause problems. -Lens hood and tripod ring/mount not included. Though cheaper than an L mount lens that will come with a both, Canon could have at least included a hood. Again, I am happy with my purchase and would recommend for those that own an R5 or R6. The reach is incredible for the price. Having spent a morning with the lens, I have a better understanding on how to use it. As for whether a 2x extender is a better option, it could be if you already own a good 400mm lens. You would still experience aperture and center focus issues like you do with the RF 800mm. There are also some EF lenses not compatible with the 2x. ADDENDUM: I was able to take the lens out on a sunny day. The higher shutter speed on bright days makes it easier to hand hold the lens. For reference, the Killdeer image is taken at 1/1000 with an ISO of 1000 due to the dark background. The eagle 30 feet up in a tree is cropped taken at 1/1000 and 1600 ISO. Though not tack sharp like an L, it is still pretty good. Subjects with a light background will drop the ISO with the lowest I saw was at 500 with a 1/640 shutter speed. ... show more
