## Overview

The Canon RF 800mm F11 IS STM is a super-telephoto prime lens designed for Canon EOS R mirrorless cameras, offering an impressive 800mm fixed focal length ideal for wildlife, birding, and aviation photography. It features a compact, lightweight design with a collapsible body weighing only 1260g, combined with 4-stop optical image stabilization for sharp handheld shots. The lens uses a quiet STM autofocus motor and a fixed F11 aperture, balancing portability with excellent image quality. Compatible across the EOS R lineup, it’s a budget-friendly, travel-ready lens that delivers remarkable reach without the bulk of traditional super-telephoto lenses.

## Description

The RF 800mm IS STM lens is a super telephoto prime lens with 4-stop image stabilisation and a greater reach than its sister lens, the RF 600mm IS STM. It is perfect for the wildlife enthusiast, and ideal for specialist pursuits such as bird and aviation photography. Lightweight, powerful and compact with excellent image stabilisation for handheld shooting, the Diffractive Optic (DO) design, along with the RF lens mount and a fixed, F11 aperture, helps make it a more compact lens and easier to pack into a travel bag. Designed for Canon’s Full Frame mirrorless cameras, its RF lens mount offers a faster communication speed than a conventional DSLR. Smooth and silent focusing from the STM motor is a real advantage too, particularly for video.

Review: Pleasantly surprised. Bargain super telephoto for Canon R series cameras. - Having read mixed reviews about the Canon RF 800mm F11 I was a little reluctant to buy one but I need the extra reach so when desertcart dropped the price I took a punt. Well I'm glad I did. Image quality from the RF 800 is noticeably better than my Sigma 150-600 with 1.4x converter. AF is better too despite the slow F11 fixed aperture. On my Canon EOS R6, the AF is acceptably fast and accurate. Whilst the AF is not as fast as say a Canon EF100-400 or even the Sigma 150-600 without the converter, it is fast enough for me to use for motorsports and aviation. I suspect it might not be quite quick enough for wildlife photographers wanting to shoot birds in flight and other fast moving animals but for reasonably predictable things like cars and bikes racing around a track it seems to work fine. The photos attached were taken with this lens on my R6 with servo AF and vehicle tracking. Out of the camera the images lack a little contrast and need a little sharpness boost. I have sharpened them and applied auto-contrast as well as increasing the the saturation by 5% using XnConvert. That gives me the results I'm looking for. The big bonus with this lens is the weight...or lack of. It is incredibly light for a lens of this focal length which makes it easier and less tiring to hand hold and carry around for long periods. Coupled with the excellent image stabilisation it makes it a joy to use all day. One thing to note; if you want to use the Canon ET-101 lens hood (or JJC alternative) and a UV filter at the same time you need to use a UV filter with a VERY slim frame. The only one I've found that works is the Urth 95mm UV Lens Filter (Plus+) here: https://smile.desertcart.co.uk/gp/product/B088C3RFQT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1. Most other UV filters have frames that are too big for the hood to go over. The only thing I don't like about this lens is the tripod socket. It's small and badly positioned when the lens is fully extended in the shooting position. Also, the build quality feels a bit cheap and plastic compared to my other Canon / Sigma lenses but only time will tell if it stands up to heavy use. Apart from that I'm loving it! It's a cracking lens. P.S, on the EOS R6 with it's excellent low light performance, the fixed F11 aperture is a non-issue. Just use Auto ISO with either TV or M mode to keep your shutter speed up.
Review: Excellent lens for distant and smaller objects - I have now used this RF 800 mm F11 lens on R camera quite a few times. I find it delivers sharp images in right conditions. For best sharpness in lower light tripod is recommended. Exposure times of 1/80s are ok with the very effective image stabiliser function. I have obtained nice images of moon (using tripod) and distant birds and animals. No issues with any optical aberrations. These are handled also by the in-camera processing, I understand. The lens has fixed aperture F11 and has no aperture blades. So the background blur is natural and smooth. F11 does require bright light conditions for shorter exposure times and for handheld images. The lens is is quite long, when operated (44 cm with a hood attached), but can be shortened for placing in rucksack. It is relatively lightweight. This is certainly a good value alternative to the heavy and costly wide aperture L-lenses.
