Thank you very much, venkatesh. The RF 800 is very sharp and is slightly lighter than the RF 100-500. Both the lenses are about equal in sharpness. The 800 has more reach especially if you add on the RF 1.4x and 2x extenders. The negative side's to the RF 800 is close focusing at about 19 feet and is not weather resistant. So, it's a toss-up. I like them both equally. For only $900, it's nice to have a back-up RF 800 lens especially for long-distance wildlife photography. Remember, the RF 800 does not come with a lens hood. However, you can buy one at Amazon for about $53.

Thank you Regis. I will probably end up buying the RF 800. Yes for $900 nice to have a back up lens.I will also look up the $53 lens hood on Amazon.

Nice pic.
Interesting to see the difference between an osprey and eagle as to how they carry their prey.
Ospreys carry theirs below their body and weathercocked.
Eagles behind in their slipstream.
Neat.


I appreciate your good information, ad9mac.

The contrast seems to be better with the RF 800 due to it's f/11 and special lens coatings.

Another great shot, Regis. Really is iconic, an eagle going home with dinner and the look of determination.


I thank you very much, John.

I thank you very much, Boone. The Canon R5 and especially the R6 use high ISO's very well. I can reach 12,000 ISO with little or no photo noise with the R5.
