ENTER THE ‘new normal’ when it comes to affordable, lightweight mega telephoto primes for mirrorless cameras, in the long, slender shape of the Canon RF 800mm F11 IS STM prime and RF 600mm F11 IS STM lenses. The RF 800mm F11 weighs only 1260g, while the RF 600mm F11 weighs less at 930g, and with their size and weight Canon told us they feel nicely balanced on the new EOS R6 camera bodies.
The RF 600mm and 800mm are impressively slender and light
These slick, black budget tele lenses both have IS with the RF 800mm producing 4-stops of IS, and the RF 600mm offering 5-stops IS - the IS on the lenses also works along with IBIS on the R5 and R6, but not as well as when the cameras are paired up with faster lenses.
