I have a Canon 500II/4 but I can't handhold it. Going to shoot Osprey fishing in good light. Appreciate comments on the Canon RF 600 f/11 for that specific use.

Here's one link on the 800 f11, not 600, but I think there are better articles out there.

I have clients who have tried the 600 f/11 and just sent it back. They preferred their 100-500 f/7.1. They said the AF was slow and frustrating.

All the best

There are various reviews on photography websites and on youtube. People have positive things to say about both the 600 f/11 and 800 f/11. I was going to buy the 800mm for maximum reach. The lens is compact, sharp and inexpensive. Then I thought about the limitations. It's not really flexible. It has a limited use. I'd rather put the money for a 800 f/11 on the RF 100-500 and a 1.4x instead. The combo is 700mm, good enough and more flexible than the 800 f/11. In your case, the 600 f/11.
