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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Canon is absolutely the best forget the rest

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars 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.

Love this lens. Brings the subject up real close!

5.0 out of 5 stars 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.

Great lens
