Best Canon Lens: Canon Ef 800mm F/5.6L Is Usm Super Telephoto Lens

The Ef 800mm f/5.6L Is Usm Super Telephoto Lens is carefully by many as the best Canon lens which is aimed at photographers specializing in sports, wildlife, and photojournalism. In 1993, more than a decade before this model was manufactured, Canon introduced its most superior telephoto lens, the Ef 1200mm f/5.6L Usm. This model also happens to be the brand's most expensive and rarest lens to date; it is reported that only fewer than 100 units were artificial and each unit was sold not less than ,000. However, ever since the discontinuation of the Ef 1200mm, the Ef 800mm is the brand's best super telephoto lens you can find on the market.

Released in 2008, the Ef 800mm f/5.6L Is Usm is a member of Canon's expert L series of lenses. The lens' sturdy body and mount are made of magnesium alloy, while the switches and extremities are made of plastic. Its gaskets are made of a weather-resistant material, allowing it to be use even in the most greatest condition. At 9.9 pounds, it is a rather heavy telephoto lens. However, this model is in fact lighter than someone else super telephoto lens from Canon, the Ef 600mm f/4L Is, which weighs a expected 12 pounds. It also has a maximum aperture of f/5.6, which allows for superb depth-of-field effects. It also has 800mm minimum focal length, 19.7 feet minimum focal range, 0.14x maximum image magnification, auto- as well as manual-focus, and 3.1 degrees real angle of view.

The Canon Ef 800mm f/5.6L Is Usm offers a range of outstanding features which include a focus distance window, a focus-preset mechanism, a wide rubber focus ring, an Af stop switch, an image stabilizer (which is able to supply 4 improvement stops and is tripod sensing), weather sealing, and the ability to limit the focus range. This lens also features two fluorite lens elements, a Ud lens element, and a Super-Ud-glass element which allow for exceptional color fringing improvement as well outstanding sharpness and contrast. The lens' inner focusing system is powered by a ring type Usm motor.

Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact. Dedicated lens hoods are designed to match the specific focal length of the lens it was designed for.

Canon 550D with Canon f/1.8 50mm test

Canon 550D with Canon f/1.8 50mm test Tube. 2.00 Mins.




Watch as I try to find focus with the 50mm f1.8 lens I bought yesterday for my new Canon 550D. The video features some cool cats. It was all shot at 1920x1080 25p, ingested as Apple Pro Res LT via FCP and the Canon EOS plugin. I bought the upgrade to Magic Bullet Colorista II as well a few days ago so I used it to push some colours around in this clip.

chronicle of the Canon Wide Angle Lens - The Ef-S 10-22mm F 3.5-4.5 Usm

I have just received my new Canon Ef-S 10-22 ultra-wide angle lens. This is one of Canon's most favorite lens and is designed for the "crop sensor" series of Dslr. More on what a crop sensor is later. My first conception after a join of frames is "Wow, this is for real wide, it wraps colse to my block."

The request of the day is why do I need a 10-22mm wide angle lens. I already have a Ef-S 18-55 zoom that came with Canon X1i camera. So what am I going to do with that extra 8mm of width for a wide angle shot. That 8mm is like a football field when I am shooting a landscape in the distance (well maybe not quite a football field, but close).

Canon Ef Lens

There is a great need for those of us that shoot landscapes for a wide angle lens. As you might observation in my landscapes I tend to shoot very wide shots with mountains or red rocks in the foreground and the horizon in the distance. I have been shooting most of my landscapes at 18mm with my kit lens on the T1i. That means that I am shooting at 28.8mm in film 35mm size. This is because the T1i is a crop sensor camera with a factor 1.6x.

Now I have to illustrate the crop sensor stuff. Suffice to say that there are three ratios of crop sensors in the Canon line of cameras; full sensor, 1.3x, and 1.6x. This refers to the ratio of the sensor (the computer chip that sees the image and translates it to digital). The full sensor is the same size as the 35mm camera of years past. The two other ratios are, in effect, a subset of the full sensor and the 35mm film size. For practical purposes this means that the full sensor would see the whole football field, the 1.3x sensor would see inside the 20 yard lines and the 1.6 factor would capture inside the 30 yard lines. Now, you math majors out there do not hold me to the exact proportions, I am just trying to illustrate the concept.

Here is a list showing what Canon cameras have which sensor:

  • Canon Eos 1Ds, Mark Ii and Ii (Full Frame)
  • Canon Eos 5D and 5D, Mark Ii (Full Frame)
  • Canon Eos 1D, Mark Iii,Iv (1.3x Crop Frame)
  • Canon Digital Rebel, T1i,Xsi,Xs (1.6x Crop Frame)
  • Canon Eos 20D,30D,40D,50D,7D (1.6x Crop Frame)

Now what does all this have to do with me wanting, needing, lusting after a 10-22mm wide angle? Now you know that this lens will fit on my camera (whew, that took a long time). You will also know that the 10mm, the widest of the wide angle, is for real a 16mm on my camera compared to how it looks on a full frame camera. That is still very good and will capture for real ranging views of those red rocks that I am so fond of.

What about the other characteristics of the lens? All the reviews I have read show it to be a very high potential "glass." Canon designates their top-of-the-line lenses with the letter "L" in the description. Although the Ef-S 10-22 f/3.5-4.5 does not carry the "L" designation, the use of three aspheric elements and one Sd element is a base characteristic of a potential lens. My first first shots with the lens left me with the impression of how clear and sharp it is.

This has potential visual parts and is not a "low-end, consumer type lens". Some pundits have suggested that if it had not been an Ef-S type lens, it might have received the "L" designation, but since it will not fit on a pro level Dslr (Eos 5D,1Ds series), Canon did not give it a "professional" L designation. In fact, no Ef-S lenses have the "L" designation to date.

Ef-S lenses, of course, are designed for use only with Aps-C (1.6x) sensor Canon Dslrs and will currently only physically mount on the Digital Rebel series, and Eos 20D,30D,40D,50D 7D. The Ef-S fabricate allows the rear element to be closer to the sensor then with Ef lenses, enhancing image quality, especially at the shortest focal lengths. The "S" in Ef-S means "short back focus" and now you know why.

There are many technical reasons that this lens is good for wide shots and landscapes. The reviews have shown that it is very sharp and very fast when auto focusing. On the negative side I will note that, if you use this lens when finding at a someone up close it will make them look like they are standing in the circus exhibit with the distorted mirrors. It is clearly designed for those shots that are as wide as all outdoors.
