Canon RF200-800mm F6.3-9 is USM Super-telephoto Zoom Lens, Mirrorless, Powerful Zoom Range, Comfortable Handheld Shooting, for Wildlife, Nature, Outdoor Sports, Compact & Lightweight

Absolutely terrific. For the money, it’s a great, sharp super zoom for the R Bodies. I use this extensively for kids sports, including soccer, baseball, and cross country. The only criticisms I have are completely nitpicky. When attached to a monopod, it’s a breeze to shoot all day. It’s light enough to handhold, but it feels a bit awkward because it’s so big. Again, it’s great great great!

Haven't actually used it yet. However, the review is for fit and finish which is 5 stars all the way. Extremely clean. Flawless glass. No dust. A great feel to the lens. Just the right stiffness which can be dialed to your liking too. Comes with a lens hood unlike many other Canon lenses. Weight is very reasonable for this type of lens too. Not a problem handholding. Looking forward to the captures with my R7. Updated: Fast AF with my Canon R7. Sharpness is great. resh is obviously outstanding with my crop sensor R7. Fantastic lens.

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.

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 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.

I've only had this lens for about a week, but I've taken about 100 photos of our animal friends feeding in the rock garden. My early impressions of the lens: - It is heavy, but manageable and I can handhold it for about 15 minutes with the camera to my eye before I have to set it down. - At 800mm, even in "okay" light, I need to turn on stabilization and when possible support the lens on a tripod or improvised support (a stack of books worked great today as I sat at the open window) - I am using it with the R6II, a camera I do not love. It's very much still winter here so I haven't set up my blind yet, and shoot instead from a window in the house, maybe 30' from the rocks. At 800mm I have almost enough reach, but in the end do crop the images a bit anyway. I am now debating getting a R7 for that extra reach without losing so much resolution, or maybe an R5 where shooting at 1.6 crop I still get an image around 17mp. I feel like with this lens, the more resolution, the better. - I have had some trouble with focusing, especially at 800mm. Part of that is definitely user error, part is lack of familiarity with the lens and, honestly, Servo and focus screens on the camera (I do not typically photograph fast moving small objects at a distance). I think the lens is sharp enough, and hope to improve the hit ratio as I better learn to use it. Still, I've got quite a few shots I am happy with. - I think it is a pretty amazing value, at least when compared to what else is available. If you need/want the reach, this is your lens. - The plane photo: this commercial plane was passing over the house WAY, WAY UP THERE. I quickly just aimed over my head and let it rip. At 4+ lbs and 19" of barrel extended at 800mm, holding this over your head to shoot is not easy. Stabilizer really saved the shot here. - The other shots were all taken from a basement window. They've been cropped out of necessity, maybe cutting out roughly 1/4th of the available full frame size. Not bad, but more than I prefer to crop. Again, I am shooting from at least 30' away, and these are small animals. - It's no secret, you will need fairly decent light with this beast, especially if it is hand held and the subject is moving around. ISO's will be high, but most cameras handle that well these days. Hey, Canon: color me impressed! I look forward to doing more with this lens and seeing what else it can do.

Finaly can take pictures of far objects. It heavy 😅. Quality is great of pics, I use it with Canon EOS R8, fits perfectly.

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.

Llego en excelente estado y en cuanto a funcionamiento es excelente

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.

Used it with my Canon R7 camera and is very happy with the results! Took the lens to Botswana it travelled well

This 200-800mm is a true zoom monster and an absolute must-have if you need a powerful zoom lens. I use it with my R6 Mark II, and the images are as crisp and sharp as with my L-series lenses. Yes, it looks big at first glance, especially compared to the RF 100-400mm, but that's an unfair comparison since this is a 200-800mm. It's also rain and dust resistant, and the price is unbeatable for what you get.
