Canon User for Life: A Wildlife Photographer's Perspective

As a professional wildlife photographer with over three decades behind the lens, I've trusted Canon gear to perform in some of the most extreme and remote environments on Earth. From the sweeping savannas of Africa to the rugged peaks of the American West, Canon has never let me down. I purchased my first EF 800mm in 2016, and it became an essential part of my field kit. But over the past three years, I've transitioned all of my gear to Canon's mirrorless platform-and the results have exceeded every expectation. The new RF 800mm paired with the EOS R5 Mark II is nothing short of exceptional. The clarity, speed, and reliability of this combination are unmatched. It delivers stunning detail, even in low light, and the autofocus tracking is a game-changer for wildlife subjects that never sit still. My current core setup includes two R5 bodies (soon to be upgraded), the R5 Mark II, and Canon's finest L-series glass: the 24-70mm, 70-200mm, 100-500mm, and of course, the new RF 800mm. This lineup allows me to cover everything from intimate wide-angle landscapes to ultra-telephoto wildlife portraits-all with confidence and precision. Canon's innovation, support, and commitment to professional image-makers is why I've stayed with them throughout my career. The mirrorless platform has taken my work to new heights, and I look forward to what's next. Thank you, Canon, for continually raising the bar and delivering the tools that help me tell the wild stories that matter most. Thank you Canon!

Light weight, sharp, and fun to shoot.

I've been using this lens for almost a year now. This lens coupled with the R5 makes an exceptional lens for us Florida bird photographers. As with all the big L lenses (I also have the 600 f/4) the image quality is exceptional. The lighter weight makes it pretty easy to hand hold?but the best images come from the tripod. It's not going to be a lens for everyone, but if you're a serious bird photographer you'll love this one.
