great optical quality and focal range
This is a hreat lense. paired with R50 it provide great focal range and clarity. I bought tjis mainly to take pictures of birds. The lens is obviously bulky and somewhat heavy, but not as heavy as I was expecting.

Probably the best wildlife lens today 👌
This is a tremendous lens.I used to use the the R5 with the RF 100-500L and it was a killer combination. But, tbh I think the R3 with the RF 200-800 is better.The reach is a big part of that. I have lower megapixels with the R3, but there’s basically no need to crop with the 200-800’s reach. Plus, it’s very fast to focus with my R3, and the pictures are sharp. Sure, it’s fairly heavy, the throw is quite a bit (basically how you zoom in and out), and finally the collar can’t be removed.But, those are really the only cons I can think of. This lens really is an amazing combination of value and quality. Probably the best wildlife lens out there tbh.You won’t regret buying this bad boy.*Fyi I use the JJC DLP-8II as a case / pouch for the lens.

Very satisfied
Great lens for what it is. I use it on my Canon R7. Don’t expect L series lens quality but this is very sharp and a blast to use. I have used it for wildlife and air shows so far. Having that extra reach to 800mm is great. I have enjoyed it tremendously!

Another great Canon lense
I got this to add to my telephoto lens options and wow, it’s a very good lense. It’s a large lens but works well with my tripod for image stability. Not so much free hand for me with this one but my tripod options make sure that’s not an issue.

Killer Lens
Fantastic lens. A little heavy but not anywhere near as heavy as the Sigma 150-600 Got some great shots of the moon & looking forward to Eagle season. I’m sure I will be able to get great results with this lens.

Huge Reach!
If you’re looking at this lens, it’s for the 800mm reach, probably for birds and wildlife. I just got it and took it out for some birding. I used it on the R7 for a 1280mm field of view on the long end. I’m happy with how it performed. Autofocus was speedy and performed well. I’m coming from a first version EF 100-400. So that’s all I have to compare the autofocus to. It was faster and more accurate. But not by miles. F9 is not great but that’s the trade off and you know it going in. You’re going to have to use high ISO. Today was overcast but I was able to stay at ISO 1600 and get nice shots. Of course it would have been better with more light, but with the great IS of the lens and R7 you can get by with a lower shutter speed. The female Norther Harrier was shot at 800mm f9 ISO 1600 1/640. It was pretty still on the perch so it worked. If it was in flight I would have needed ISO 3200 at least, and even then have to work to get a good shot. So yes, f9 is something you’ll have to work with. If you use it on an R5 or 6 it will be better but then you’ll loose the reach of the R7. You’ll probably need noise reduction, I use camera raw and while it’s slow on my PC the results are good. None of these images used it though. Overall it’s a great lens and I had a great time using it today and look forward to many more days of fun with it. There’s no other way to get this reach for anywhere near this price. If you want something faster, get this and rent a 600 f4 or 800 f5.6 for a day to get it out of your system. Then enjoy the fact you can carry this around and use it all the time.

The reach is 200mm over all comparably priced competitors
First of all I like the reach. Of course whenever trying out a new lens there is a learning curve. In this case spotting birds in flight at 600-800mm is a skill I need to work on quite a bit more to say I’m confident.. The weight is another plus. Yes I will use this lens on a tripod or a monopod often enough, but I have a detailed, sharp image of the moon taken as a handheld device. For the money, this lens cannot be beaten for people who do not make their living selling photos or prints to the media. This lens is all I need to capture birds in flight which is one of the main reasons I picked up the photography hobby in the first place. This is not an “L” less, and did doesn’t have to be. Canon is finally providing good quality glass to photographers like me who want to improve their skills without draining their bank accounts. The aperture range of 6.3-9.0 is not a problem especially if I take advantage of every good light situation when I want to use this lens.

This lens is great, especially for the price. I have only been using it for a week and so am still getting used to it but it is exactly what I was looking for.

Very good lenses. Much better than F11 800 prime I own. Faster and AF visibly better. Feels professional even if it isn’t marked so.
