Canon RF 600mm F11 IS STM

The new Canon RF 600mm F11 IS STM is the "baby brother" of the RF 800mm that we very recently and enthusiastically reviewed. Other than the shorter focal length, the RF 600mm offers a more effective image stabilisation system, closer focusing distance and an even lighter, more compact design. Does it hit the super-telephoto sweet-spot? Find out now by taking a look through our Canon RF 600mm F11 IS STM review, complete with full-size sample images.

Canon RF 800mm F11 IS STM

Sure, as you'd expect there are also quite a few caveats, so read our detailed review to find out just what the new Canon RF 800mm F11 IS STM is capable of and if it deserves a place in your camera bag...
