Fantastic for wildlife
I’ve now had the opportunity to use this lens for three birding trips and several day trips at my local parks and refuges and I am very pleased with this lens. My experience with this lens is on the R7 and R8 and I have been very pleased with the image quality on both cameras even at 800mm and wide open at f/9. The first thing I noticed is that the lens feels very well built. Once I got it mounted on my camera the first thing I noticed was how fast the auto-focus is. Having the ability to zoom is a great benefit in that it really opens up opportunities to photograph scenes in a variety of ways. The through on the zoom ring is quite long so zooming from 200-800 is a little awkward but I find that if I keep the zoom at 800mm and back off when necessary it is pretty manageable. The lens is a little on the heavy side but the tripod foot is a good size making it a comfortable handle to carry the lens from and overall I find the lens well balanced and comfortable to hand-hold. The tripod collar isn’t removable. There isn’t a AF limiter switch like is often found on higher end telephoto lenses. This has sometimes a little frustrating. The lens also lacks a mode switch for the image stabilizer and instead depends on an auto-detect for the camera to automatically determine the AF mode needed. It generally works well but sometimes I found that the stabilizer sometimes failed to switch to panning mode when I was panning resulting in a jumpy image in the viewfinder. However, overall the stabilizer is very effective. Overall I have found the lens to be an excellent value for the money and an all around great wildlife lens.

Fantastic 800mm lens!
This is an incredible lens with incredible value. @ $1899, it's not cheap, but considering that the next level up at 800mm is the RF 800 f5.6 @ $17k this is incredible. Ignore the 1 star review on here as they are only reviewing the availability, which is basic supply and demand and everywhere is sold out right now. You can't blame the lens for being so popular!

Lens unknown, due to unreliability of BestBuy!!
BestBuy disappointed again (3rd time this year). BB did not deliver despite ordering within first minutes of availability .... Lens might be great but BestBuy failed to delivery again, they are unreliable, unresponsive, just a disappointment when it comes to newer technology.
