Sharp pictures. Well balanced and easy to use with tripod or hand held.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Quality build, weight is manageable. I shoot handheld it is a little but heavier then a 150-600 but not a huge difference. Lens is extremly sharp and focus is fast. I use for birds in flight and have noticed my pictures in focus has more than doubled from my last telephoto lens. Happy with the reach as well. The F.9 just means i shot early in the morning now and in the evening it comes down to having 10 minutes less than a F.5 lens. The boca background is not an issue at F.9 most of the time it's completely blowned out.

Same IS issue as all other RF lenses

Bought this lens as the 100-500 was a hassle to use with and extender and the IS was unusable for video. The 200-800 for photo is amazing! But the image stabilization is even worse than the 70-200L and 100-500L series lenses in video and the image can come out quite soft. The image with IS on doesn’t follow your pan and will randomly shift left or right. The potential

Best birding lens I've ever used !

Let me tell you how much Love this lens :)
After using one for more than 2 yrs, and taking thousands of fantastic with it, I'm fixing to buy my second one right now :)

I already have two R7's, and I just have to have a backup. Anything could happen. I could drop my camera. I could get robbed, or heck, it could just fail on me.
Now what if I'm on one of my multi-thousands of miles, multi-week birding trips, and this happens ? My 4 yr warranty or full coverage camera insurance is not going to help with this.
I HAVE to have a backup at all times 🙂👍

And btw, if someone have me a 600 F4, I'd sell it immediately. I don't need speed. I need reach, and versatility. And nothing gives me more of that, than the 200-800 ;)
