My thoughts on the Canon RF800mm F/11 IS STM

What exactly were you expecting from an 800mm fixed aperture of f/11?
Well as it turns out it's quite a unique lens thats a lot of fun to use, in the right conditions.

Don't expect amazing results when the light starts to diminish. This is not a lens for low-light photography or for subjects in shaded areas. When paired with the Canon R5 (and also the R3 and R6 cameras) this lens performs very well with the new auto focus system and animal eye tracking. However, one major caveat is that the focus area is constrained to the center part of the frame, and not covering the whole area like with the new RF100-500mm.

Let’s see how it worked.
