The

The recent announcement of the 5DS and the 5DSR have caused quite a kerfuffle, as is to be expected. What is quite surprising though is the number of people either writing the camera off, or announcing it to be the best thing since sliced bread - all on the evidence of a few jpgs and some PR interviews with Canon representatives.
For instance, the specification for the camera shows the highest ISO setting to be 6400. Quite a few people have said that this isn't enough and so the camera is useless. Another passing comment from Canon stated that the dynamic range was "as good as the 5D3" which people quickly interpreted as Canon having failed again.

Canon EF 800mm f/5.6L

 

 

Canon EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM Lens Review

 

There is nothing like the arrival of a new Canon Super Telephoto Lens to bring the excitement of Christmas to any time of the year. And the hit on the credit card from this lens is considerably larger than the hit from most households' Christmas expenditures. The Canon EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM Lens entered the world as, by far, Canon's most expensive lens. This is of course not counting the EF 1200mm f/5.6 that is not in regular production - and costs as much as a small house.

The definite upside to the 800 L's high price is that you get Canon's ultimate lens physical qualities and superb Image quality.

The 800 L is sharp wide open from corner to corner and slightly sharper stopped down to f/8. The biggest improvement from stopping down is the reduced vignetting, which is somewhat strong at f/5.6. Exposures at f/5.6 are generally at least 1/3 stop darker even in the center of the frame from what f/8 exposures are - this is the biggest negative attribute of this lens in my opinion (aside from the price of course). Images at f/8 are simply excellent

There is nothing like the arrival of a new Canon Super Telephoto Lens to bring the excitement of Christmas to any time of the year. And the hit on the credit card from this lens is considerably larger than the hit from most households' Christmas expenditures. The Canon EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM Lens entered the world as, by far, Canon's most expensive lens. This is of course not counting the EF 1200mm f/5.6 that is not in regular production - and costs as much as a small house.
The definite upside to the 800 L's high price is that you get Canon's ultimate lens physical qualities and superb Image quality.
The 800 L is sharp wide open from corner to corner and slightly sharper stopped down to f/8. The biggest improvement from stopping down is the reduced vignetting, which is somewhat strong at f/5.6.

Images at f/8 are simply excellent.

The uncropped 1Ds Mark III Rufous-sided Towhee photo above was shot at 1/80 second at f/6.3 and ISO 400. The 800mm focal length nicely magnifies the OOF (Out of Focus) background and, along with an 8-blade rounded aperture, creates a strongly and attractively blurred background. Slight corner darkening caused by a 25mm extension tube (not needed in this case) can be seen in this shot.
CA (Chromatic Aberration) is very low, flare is very well-controlled. Color and contrast are what you would expect from a lens of this caliber. Distortion is absent. There is not much more to say about image quality from the Canon EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM Lens - it is excellent.

Despite Canon doing their best to keep the weight down (including the use of magnesium alloy in the construction), large size and heavy weight are simply part of the physics of an 800mm f/5.6 lens. It weighs less than the Canon EF 800mm f/5.6L - and the difference is noticeable, but the Canon EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM Lens is by no means light - or small. Handholding this lens for any length of time without any support will be restricted to the very strongest of us. The high magnification of the 800mm focal length makes precise framing especially difficult under this weight.
