Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM Lens Summary
Amateur and enthusiast photographers who enjoy subjects requiring extensive super telephoto reach will be thrilled at the RF 800mm f/11 IS STM Lens from Canon. This full-frame lens together with the RF 600mm f/11 IS STM provide ground breaking AF and IS optics at this size and weight. The RF 800mm weighs just 1260g. which is staggering for such a long focal length. A clever barrel design also allows the lens to be contracted for transportation or storage when not in use, then extended when mounted onto any Canon full-frame mirrorless camera body. Certain settings can also be conveniently adjusted on the barrel with the lens control ring.
Travel wildlife, bird, sports and aviation photographers will particularly benefit from this model’s range, placing extremely distant subjects within their reach. The addition of 4 stops of optical stabilisation compensates for lower light levels or when handheld, delivering consistently sharper images. The removal of aperture blades ensures very pleasing out of focus areas particularly when the subject is isolated from distracting backgrounds. Canon’s STM focus system ensures smooth, quiet and confidence in subject acquisition and maintains full operation even when either of the optional Extenders are mounted. The 1.4x extends the lens to 1120mm and the 2x to an incredible 1600mm. Full image stabilisation and Dual Pixel CMOS AF functionality remains with extenders mounted, delivering distinct advantages to photographers with far away subjects.

Our Verdict
As example images show the Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM lens is an extremely competent full-frame super telephoto wildlife option. Other subjects photographers may pursue include travel birding, sports and even aviation photography all of which benefit from this 800mm or longer range. Amateurs and enthusiasts now have an affordable option which boasts exceptional Dual Pixel CMOS AF functionality even when either of the 1.4x or 2x Extenders is mounted. Image stabilisation delivers 4 EV stops of anti shake compensation making this lens truly groundbreaking considering its compact size and light 1260g. weight. Similarly IS also works fully with a mounted Extender providing the stability super telephoto lengths require.
Clever Canon designers have made the lens barrel extendable, allowing for a far shorter length when not in use or whilst travelling or hiking. Whilst brighter conditions draw out the best in this lens, care has been taken with advanced Diffractive Optic technology and the removal of aperture blades to provide soft out of focus areas and subject isolation even at f/11 or higher. Combining all of these practical features at such an aggressive price point makes for an extremely compelling telephoto lens choice for Canon mirrorless photographers.
