  1. Q3 2026100/1005.0★4 reviews

    All reviews are 5-star, praising the lens for its reach, image quality, and ease of use for wildlife photography.

    • Excellent reach for wildlife, especially birds and distant subjects.
    • Good image quality with crisp, sharp shots.
    • Surprisingly easy to carry and use handheld despite weight.
    • F9 aperture at full length is a drawback but reach compensates.
  2. Q2 202681/1004.5★16 reviews

    Buyers praise the lens for reach, clarity, and value, especially on mirrorless cameras. Some note softness, slow aperture, and a learning curve.

    • Excellent image quality and sharpness at 800mm, especially on Canon R7 and R6 series.
    • Weight is manageable for many but heavy for some; tripod foot helps handholding.
    • Soft image quality compared to 100-500mm; some users found it disappointing.
    • Slow f/9 aperture at 800mm challenges low-light and bird-in-flight photography.
  3. Q1 202685/1004.7★20 reviews

    Buyers praise the lens's reach, sharpness, and value, but note the long zoom throw, non-removable tripod collar, and need for good light.

    • Excellent reach and sharpness at 800mm, great value for wildlife and bird photography.
    • Long zoom ring rotation makes quick adjustments awkward; some find it manageable.
    • Non-removable tripod collar adds weight and bulk; no zoom lock switch allows lens creep.
    • Requires steady hand or tripod at long focal lengths; low light performance is limited.
  4. Q3 2025100/1005.0★4 reviews

    Buyers praise the lens for amazing image quality and background blur, but note it is heavy and the non-removable collar takes getting used to.

    • Excellent image quality and background blur.
    • Lens is heavy; some suggest a gym membership.
    • Non-removable collar requires adjustment for comfortable handling.
    • Great customer service from Adorama during trade-in.
  5. Q2 2025100/1005.0★3 reviews

    Buyers love this lens for wildlife and surf photography, praising sharpness, quick focus, and balance. Some note tight zoom and vignetting.

    • Excellent for wildlife and surf photography with sharp images and fast autofocus.
    • Zoom ring is very tight, causing difficulty for some users, especially with arthritis.
    • Vignetting present throughout zoom range, but some find it acceptable.
    • Well-balanced and easy to use handheld or on tripod.
  6. Q1 202575/1004.3★4 reviews

    Buyers praise the lens for sharpness and value, but note video IS issues and panning challenges.

    • Sharp image quality, especially with teleconverter; rivals RF 100-500 L when cropped.
    • Image stabilization unusable for video; IS randomly shifts during pan.
    • Great for photos, but video IS worse than other RF L lenses.
    • Panning birds is challenging at 800mm; user finds it difficult.
  7. Q4 202487/1004.7★7 reviews

    Buyers praise the lens for its lightweight design, extended reach, and sharp image quality, though some note the lack of internal focusing and a lens lock.

    • Lightweight and comfortable for long handheld use, reducing physical strain.
    • Excellent 800mm reach and sharp image quality for bird and wildlife photography.
    • No internal focusing and slower aperture challenging in low light; still a bargain.
    • No lens lock to keep lens in place while walking; cannot use CPL and hood together.
