    Overview

    The Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM is an ultra-lightweight, collapsible telephoto prime that offers an affordable entry into super-telephoto photography. Its fixed f/11 aperture and lack of aperture iris are unusual, but mirrorless cameras handle the slow speed well for autofocus and viewing. Optical performance is surprisingly sharp, even with teleconverters. The lens requires extending before use, and build is compact but quirky. It suits budget-conscious wildlife or bird photographers who prioritize portability and reach over speed and flexibility.
