Excellent Operability
The focus/control ring on the lens barrel can directly adjust shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation, and other settings. Two lens function buttons are also available on the barrel for immediate access to your preferred camera settings.

The signature white paint functions as a heat countermeasure when shooting for extended periods under harsh light and works together with the lens’s weather-resistant design to prevent damage from the elements.

A decent bridge

fair to say this lens isn't on par with a 15k lens, but it does go a long way. I'm an amateur and can't provide the reader any technical data but I can say it gets a decent image. The only drawback I see is the f stop. You are going to see stops at 9 or more and if it's an overcast day it might affect the photos you take. especially when using a filter. Also fair to say it must have a great stabilization system because even at F9 with 1250/1600 shutter speed it defeats camara shake quite well even at 800mm. I like the lens and I'm not sending it back.

Reach out to capture wildlife

I recently got into bird photography and needed to extend my reach to get more full frame images and avoid cropping the image. Not yet having a high megapixel camera it did not take much cropping to end up with a greatly reduced pixel image. I was using my EOS 100-400 f4.5-5.6 IS II lens and a 1.4x extender and 2x extender but putting extenders on and off was a problem. The EOS 200-800mm lens offered a much more efficient solution, provides sharp resolution and is hand hold able for a short time. Overall the Canon EOS 200-800mm lens has given me the reach I need to capture my bird images.
