Review: My Favourite Lens - I’ve been using this lens for wildlife photography for several months now. From the moment I got it, it became my favourite lens. In that time, it has been the lens used to shoot many of my favourite shots. The best features of this lens, for me, are: • The long focal length. There’s nothing on the market at a comparable price that will get as close as this. • Picture quality is very sharp. • For the size of lens, it is comparatively light and so can be carried relatively easily. • I always shoot hand-held. The in-built stabiliser works very well. • Despite the barrel being made of plastic, it is robust. That said, like all lenses, it is built to a compromise so it may not be suitable for everyone. Here are some things that could be issues: • The minimum focussing distance is quite long (from memory, I think it’s 6 metres). I have on occasions found myself having to step back in order to get a shot. And on one occasion not getting a shot, because I didn’t want to step back into a canal. Generally, I’d say it’s great for shooting birds, but not very good for butterflies. • There’s a fixed aperture of f/11. This precludes any artistic aperture choices but for me is generally fine (with the exception of the point below). • I have found when shooting birds on grass or in bushes, that the lens can sometimes produce unwanted artifacts in the background. I think if there was a choice of apertures there would be the possibility of mitigating against these, but with the fixed nature of this lens I can only deal with them afterwards in post-production. In short, if you’ve got £19k to spare, you might prefer the L-series version. If not, this may be the best one available. Review: Pros • Affordable ( Compared to most other wildlife lenses) • Extremely Light (Able to be handheld) • Great Image Quality • Insane 800MM Range ( for the price and in general) • Good AF • Compact (compared to others) • GREAT in sunny conditions Cons • F11 (Can sometimes be a pain) • Limited Auto Focus Area • Not Weatherproof • Good in cloudy conditions. Bad in gloomy/dark/shadow conditions • Autofocus might not be fast enough for fast moving subjects • no zoom When I say "a few things to consider", don't let that fool you into thinking it's a bad lens. Every lens has a drawback, you just have to work around those limits. Sure the RF 400mm f2.8 or RF 600mm F4 are much better in terms of image quality and you can open up the aperture to shoot in darker conditions, but for most people, they aren't worth $11,000 more than the RF 800MM. Plus, they almost weigh 3x more than the RF800. What you get here is basically a fantastic "Starting Wildlife Lens" that costs less than 10% of the best wildlife lenses, but performs 80-90% as good as the best wildlife lenses and will help you learn the rules of wildlife photography. The biggest rules with this lens are... 1. Get as close as you can to isolate the subject (blur the background) 2. Try to shoot during sunset/sunrise only (Having an F11 means you need direct sunlight for most shots so you don't have to crank your ISO up too high) 3. Have the background be FAR away from the subject to get a blurred background. I learned these rules by simply searching on Youtube for bird photography help. The best two educators on bird photography I like the best so far are Duade Paton and Jan Wegener. Using their tips, I was able to quickly capture the quality photographs I have attached. Go check them out! In conclusion, once you master some basic wildlife photography rules, you'll probably never need to upgrade this lens. But if you really love wildlife photography and wish to upgrade in the future, you'll be ready with all the experience you learned while using this lens. ## Features - First Compact and Lightweight 800mm Super Telephoto RF Lens. - Excellent Portability made Easier with an Extending / Retracting Locking Lens Barrel Design. - Gapless double-layer Diffractive Optics (DO) reduce Chromatic Aberration for High Image Quality. - High Image Quality at a fixed f/11 Aperture. - Optical Image Stabilization with up to 4 Stops of Shake Correction. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08C73SG8N | | Best Sellers Rank | 115,238 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 1,495 in Camera Lenses | | Box Contents | Camera Lens | | Brand Name | Canon | | Camera Lens | 800.0 millimeters | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Camera Models | Canon RF-mount mirrorless digital cameras | | Compatible Devices | Camera | | Compatible Mountings | Canon RF | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (190) | | Exposure Control Type | Manual | | Fixed Focal Length | 800 Millimetres | | Focus Type | Auto Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00013803327939 | | Image Stabilization Type | Optical | | Item Weight | 1.6 Kilograms | | Lens Coating Description | Diffractive Optics | | Lens Design | Prime | | Lens Mount | Canon RF | | Lens Type | Telephoto | | Manufacturer | Canon | | Maximum Aperture | 11 Millimetres | | Maximum Focal Length | 800 | | Media Type | ProductImage | | Minimum Aperture | 11.0 | | Minimum Focal Length | 800 | | Model Name | rf800/11,rf800mm | | Photo Filter Size | 95 Millimeters | | Real Angle Of View | 3.03 Degrees | | UPC | 013803327939 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Video Capture Format | MP4, MOV | | Video Capture Resolution | 1080p | | Viewfinder Type | Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Zoom Ratio | 1:1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Canon - **Camera lens description:** 800.0 millimeters - **Compatible mountings:** Canon RF - **Focal length description:** 800 mm - **Focus type:** Auto Focus - **Lens design:** Prime - **Lens type:** Telephoto - **Lens-fixed focal length:** 800 Millimetres - **Maximum focal length:** 800 - **Minimum focal length:** 800 ## Images ![Canon RF800/11 is STM(N) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61AsE2gKi0L.jpg) ![Canon RF800/11 is STM(N) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vZSXHcIxL.jpg) ![Canon RF800/11 is STM(N) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71J3x6biGyL.jpg) ![Canon RF800/11 is STM(N) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51MQt275mZL.jpg) ![Canon RF800/11 is STM(N) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717E0qVXxSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Favourite Lens *by J***J on 2 November 2023* I’ve been using this lens for wildlife photography for several months now.

I can confirm that the sharpness(compared to my old EF 100-400 USM II) is satisfied for the price. AF speed isn't too bad. If you put this lens on your R6 II(samples photos attached), it has ALL the AF point selection like the regular RF, or EF lenses with adapter. For the older R6 or R5, you only got one big AF square to focus. I was expecting very less vignetting of this lens but I was so wrong. Heavy vignetting with blue or lighter color sky as background. Since F11 is all we got. Cannot stop down anyways. There's no way to avoid it. See the equalizer image of the attached P-51. What the heck with those dark corners! You gotta put your target right in the middle and crop it out. or take some time to fix it in Lr or Ps. Lens Image Stabilization works well with Canon body iS. but you still need 1-2 sec to get it stabilize with flying aircraft or birds. Is this lens for you? If your main purpose is to shoot some birds in the local park where those birds are not afraid of people and you can get close to them. Meh! its minimum focus distance is long 6m. My Canon 100-400 II allows me to stay closer and the birds are bigger in the photos. For the great outdoors where you can't get close to the wild animals, YES! My main purpose of this lens is aircraft spotting LOL. Just watch out the vignetting. If you Jetphotos, you know what i meant. Somewhat slow shutter is possible with this lens. The image B-25J was done with 1/200 sec. and 1/320 sec for the white Yak-18T(with red maple leaves). You can practice with the moving cars on the road. ## Frequently Bought Together - Canon RF800/11 is STM(N) - Lens Hood for Canon RF 800mm f/11 is STM, RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 is USM Lens on EOS R6 R5 RP R Ra Camera,Reversible Lens Shade Replace Canon ET-101 Hood, Compatible with 95mm Filters and 95mm Lens Cap - iShoot Tripod Mount Ring Base, Lens Collar Foot Support Stand Compatible with Canon RF 600mm F11 IS STM and Canon RF 800mm F11 IS STM, Lens Holder with 39mm Arca-Swiss Fit Quick Release Plate Dovetail --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/440558961-canon-rf800-11-is-stm-n](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/440558961-canon-rf800-11-is-stm-n) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
