[4K] Canon RF 200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM lens unboxing and first impressions

[@rickyboller]

Thank you very much for your video. I ordered the lens on the day of the presentation . I'm curious when it would be delivered. Best regards from Germany.

[@luka567]

It is a pleasure. I was a bit concerned as well since there were some rumors that the lens could be delayed due to such high demand. But luckily I was first on the list in the shop I preordered it. In Germany there is probably a much higher demand for the lens, so I really hope you get it soon as well.

March 23 today. I still cannot find any of this lens to buy.

[@luka567]

I am sorry to hear this. I hope you will be able to find your copy soon.

If I get the lens I would have to put a camo lens cover on it. The black hood with the white lens just looks strange to me. It seems funny that they wouldn't have included a white Hood

[@luka567]

Indeed, it is an interesting choice. I will also probably "camouflage" the lens, including the lens hood.

I'm more concerned about the looks of the photos I produce with it, than the looks of the lens itself. Speaking of which, I've produced more great looking photos with that ugly arse 800 F11, than I have any other lens :) lol LOVE that ugly thing :)

[@luka567]

@@Chris_Wolfgram agreed, but still it nice to have a nice looking lens (or camouflaged to be better hidden from wildlife). Care to share a link to your photos if you have them online?

Thanks for the unboxing

[@luka567]

No problem, happy to share.

2 thousands dollars, instead of a box within a box they really could have provided a foam carry case

[@luka567]

That would have beem really nice, agreed.

[@Chris_Wolfgram]

I've gotten some very nice lens cases with other lenses > but never use them. Recently, I had to send my 800 F11 out for repairs, and I thought, "Wow ! That really nice padded case that came with it should be perfect for shipping"..... Then Canon told me NOT to send that with it, or I might not get it back ! That was dumb.

[@luka567]

@@Chris_Wolfgram I hope you get your lens serviced soon. Indeed, if there are many lenses being serviced at the same time... it could get lost. So I think it is better that they mention it beforehand. I don't use the cases much either, only for storing the lenses sometimes.

Super, da si ga nabavil, Luka. Pri meni je tudi na seznamu... 😉 Poročaj kako se obnese.. Lp Robert

Ja, točno tak objektiv (razpon goriščnice) sem čakal :). Bom, če boš rabil za preizkusit, se lahko končno kje dobimo, ko bo vreme/ sezona ptic.
