Pros and cons

According to our camera lens expert

• The fixed focal length of 800mm lets you capture objects closely from a distance.
• The 5-stop image stabilization ensures sharper photos with longer shutter speeds.
• With the splash proof design of the lens, you can continue photographing in bad weather conditions.
• With the fixed f/11 aperture, the lens is less suitable for worse lighting situations.
• Due to the weight of 1260g, a tripod is recommended for longer usage.

Description

The Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM is a super telephoto lens for your Canon mirrorless camera, which allows you to photograph wild animals from a great distance. The enormous fixed focal length of 800mm lets you capture objects closely from afar. This way, you can stay away from the wild animals and still get them in frame well. Thanks to the 5-stop image stabilization, you can take photographs with longer shutter speeds out of hand and still have sharp photos. You can use the Control Ring on the lens for extra control over your shutter speed, aperture, and ISO values. With the splash proof design of the lens, you can continue photographing in bad weather conditions.

Nice to have these, but sharper results. Highly recommended for that price! (this cannot be compared with the RF500mm lens!)
Best to use on sunny days.
