Bryan at TDP has test charts up for the 200-800. IQ is very similar to the 800 f/11 but 2/3 of a stop faster. You can pick at the charts and say maybe the center contrast is a bit lower and the peripheral acuity is a bit better, but given that we are looking at single samples, the differences are well within typical sample variation (and Roger is not going to test 800mm lenses :)). The good news is that the lens is consistently sharp throughout the zoom range, only falling off a bit at 800mm.

We have been discussing these TDP charts since Sunday in the 200-800 Review thread.

The Digital Picture has obtained a 200-800m, which makes it possible to do comparisons between camera + lens cobinations.

I compared the R5 with the combinations RF 200-800mm f9, and RF 100-500mm + 1.4X TC f10:

The result makes me somewhat nervous.
Seems as I should stick with the 100-500 + 1.4X TC combination !?

Thanks. I looked for such a thread and couldn't find it. Who would look under "Canon General" for a lens thread?:ROFLMAO:
Go to "Search" at the top of the page, type in 200-800 and "Titles Only" and the thread comes up close to the top (2nd actually). Also, when you start a new thread, ones with a similar title are displayed before you post and you have to check that there are not similar threads. I just tested starting a new 200-800 thread in Lenses and the 200-800 Review thread is top of the list.
