Canon RF 800mm f11 Hands On Review in 4k - Great or Garbage?

Review of the Canon 800mm f11 telephoto prime lens. I was interested to see how this lens would perform on my R5 so hired it for a long weekend to put it through its paces on a variety of wildlife subjects including birds in flight. Overall I'm pretty impressed by the quality, but that f11 does really limit when you can shoot with this lens and get great results.

Let me know any other questions you have in the comments and I’ll try to answer them. Thanks for watching :-)
