Canon RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 IS USM

Pros: long focal length, photo quality, fast and accurate autofocus,

Cons: zoom ring a bit uncomfortable, non-detachable ring (to be rotated for stray hunting), no distance limiter

Opinion: I have been in possession of this lens for a few months; I come from 90d+EF100-400II and I have to say that this lens has a much higher image quality rendition than the package I had previously. Everything is made better by the R7's animal eye tracking which helps in autofocus but which in low light conditions has some flaws. In low light, keeping maximum ISO at 6400, at 800 the lens naturally struggles to identify the subject; The zoom engine focuses on the difficult search for the subject to be framed. On the other hand, the long focal length gives you the advantage of identifying distant subjects and, in good light conditions, the performance is excellent. You feel the weight after a few hours of photos without a tripod even if there is no comparison with the weight of the fixed ones. In any case, excluding the very high-end zooms, I think this lens is perfect and versatile for almost any situation and almost always allows you to bring home the result. I noticed that, since the focus works very well, the number of photos rejected due to focusing errors is far lower than on the EF 100-400II. Now let's say that the discarded photos are almost exclusively due to incorrect composition. At 800 mm it is difficult to frame distant subjects in flight; in this case I think it varies according to the skill of the photographer. For distant and moving subjects, it is usually necessary to start at 400 mm and zoom deeper; Unfortunately the ring requires more turns to increase the mm and in winter with gloves it is uncomfortable especially because fast subjects certainly do not wait for the photographer's times. In general, I am satisfied with the purchase and recommend this lens for wandering hunting but also for hut hunting. A bit difficult to use in low light
