Wow...that lens is a beast. Congrats on the purchase!! The videos and images you posted are beautiful so to be able to get such nice images so quickly hopefully means that the lens was well worth the price.

Hi there. I really appreciate your content. I'm a wildlife photography enthusiast and am looking for a very good lens that will provide excellent subject separation at an affordable price. I was planning to purchase the 100-500, and then Canon introduced the 200-800, which piqued my curiosity. I've seen all of your reviews and am very satisfied. I have two questions:
1. I own the Canon EOS R, which doesn't have auto eye focus and image stabilization. What's your advice? Is it still a good combo for capturing wonderful shots, I mean 200-800 with Canon EOS R?
2. If i ask you, RF 100-500mm or 200-800mm which one will be your choice ?
I highly appreciate your advice. Thank you very much.

Thank you for watching… i think it is a good combination, i used to own one and i paired it with 800mm f11 and its really good, i think you cant go wrong with that combo. if you don’t care about the size of the 200-800 go for it, i never miss my 100-500 after i replace it with the 200-800, maybe i just like how compact the 100-500 is, but image quality and performance, its identical at least to my eyes. I hope that help
