Highlander, Canon

Conclusion: I have been taking wild life photos for 30 years with canon lenses and the new 800 is a great improvment over the old FD 800 , if the picture is a thousand word it speeks
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images
Summary: I will admit, the last few months I have really been in a rut. Due to some personal issues I, a pretty average guy, ended up learning quite a few new terms.
Summary: The images produced at f5.6 are sharper than anything from any lens I've ever seen. Color and contrast are both excellent. Focus is fast and accurate. A keeper!

Summary: I picked this up to mainly shoot Bald Eagles. I have used this lense less than I thought I would, as it is very heavy and takes up a LOT of room on road trips.
Conclusion: I finally got my 800mm after waiting for one to be built for me. 3 months wait, but it was worth it. I bought this lens to photograph eagles this upcoming winter, but...
Pros: fantastic tact sharp image, built like a tank, great image at 2560mm
