  • The 800mm maximum tele capability is outstanding when capturing wild animals, & other subjects through powerful visual telephoto compression, in stills and video. The zoom range gives flexibility to work with unpredictable movements through continuous shooting, even if the subject comes closer.

  • Get even closer

    Support for the optional Extender RF1.4x and Extender RF2x in all zooming ranges further expands the telephoto range of 200-800mm. You can get even closer to distant subjects with effective telephoto power of up to 1120mm with the Extender RF1.4x, or to an effective 1600mm using the Extender RF2x.

The lens supports Dual Pixel CMOS AF in EOS R series cameras, even when combined with an optional Extender. Plus, it supports focus breathing correction.

  • * Available only when the lens is attached to a camera equipped with focus breathing correction function. When focus breathing correction is activated, viewing field of the image becomes narrower.

  • Outstanding operability

    A Focus/Control Ring on the lens barrel can directly adjust numerous settings including shutter speed, aperture, and more — or act as a manual focus ring. Two conveniently located Lens Function Buttons allow you to program specific functions to occur at the press of either button, such as immediate access to Eye Detect AF, changes to exposure settings, and more***.

  • Designed for smooth and balanced zoom operation, so the central balance of the lens doesn’t shift when the total length of the lens changes.

  • *** Lens Function button settings are performed in the camera’s “Customize Buttons” menu. Range of possible functions varies, depending upon camera model being used. Only one function can be applied at a time, and each button performs the same function.

  • Durable & dependable build

    The lens is built with field shooting in mind. Dust- and weather-resistant design features on the mount, switches, buttons, focus/control ring, zoom ring, & adjustment ring, along with white paint as a heat countermeasure when shooting outdoors, provide for high dependability and durability.

    Fantastic for wildlife

    I’ve now had the opportunity to use this lens for three birding trips and several day trips at my local parks and refuges and I am very pleased with this lens. My experience with this lens is on the R7 and R8 and I have been very pleased with the image quality on both cameras even at 800mm and wide open at f/9. The first thing I noticed is that the lens feels very well built. Once I got it mounted on my camera the first thing I noticed was how fast the auto-focus is. Having the ability to zoom is a great benefit in that it really opens up opportunities to photograph scenes in a variety of ways. The through on the zoom ring is quite long so zooming from 200-800 is a little awkward but I find that if I keep the zoom at 800mm and back off when necessary it is pretty manageable. The lens is a little on the heavy side but the tripod foot is a good size making it a comfortable handle to carry the lens from and overall I find the lens well balanced and comfortable to hand-hold. The tripod collar isn’t removable. There isn’t a AF limiter switch like is often found on higher end telephoto lenses. This has sometimes a little frustrating. The lens also lacks a mode switch for the image stabilizer and instead depends on an auto-detect for the camera to automatically determine the AF mode needed. It generally works well but sometimes I found that the stabilizer sometimes failed to switch to panning mode when I was panning resulting in a jumpy image in the viewfinder. However, overall the stabilizer is very effective. Overall I have found the lens to be an excellent value for the money and an all around great wildlife lens.

    Incredible Reach

    I have used this lens with my R6 and R6 Mark 2, I LOVE these combos. Having that reach of 800mm is fantastic and for an affordable price point (well more affordable then their other offerings with this focal range). The focusing snaps and stays focused on wildlife critters eyes. Now with the F-stop being 9, when fully reached out, it will be a little tedious when photographing in the later evening or a cloudy day. However you CAN lower the shutter speed just a smidge and it wont wobble around too much (plus with Lightroom or your choice of editing software its easy to fix most errors you realize later like brightness and such). Its a bit heavy to carry around but if you don't mind that then you will love this lens. 5/5 and 10/10, would highly recommend!

    Fantastic 800mm lens!

    This is an incredible lens with incredible value. @ $1899, it's not cheap, but considering that the next level up at 800mm is the RF 800 f5.6 @ $17k this is incredible. Ignore the 1 star review on here as they are only reviewing the availability, which is basic supply and demand and everywhere is sold out right now. You can't blame the lens for being so popular!
