@Dragon, you convinced me! Today I took advantage of the current sale (and some holiday gift cash) and picked up an RF 800 f/11!

Here is a 100% crop from an R7 image of the electric meter across the street. I took this from the far end of my bedroom through the dirty window. According to Google maps, the distance is about 90 feet (27.4 m). This is hand-held at 1/125 sec (2-2/3 stops slower than 1/800, and the 800's IS is actually rated for four), ISO 1600.

The only post processing I did was to crop it and apply a little bit of dehaze. I also blacked out a few things that looked like an account/serial number or barcode that could identify the account (I don't think the ones on top are customer-related).

Looking forward to giving this lens a workout!

In case you haven't tried an unstabilized super tele on the R7, rest assured you got more than 2-2/3 stops of advantage here. Remember the 1/fl rule was for FF film cameras. At around 82 MP FF equivalence on the R7, you need to at least increase the rule to 1/2fl and likely a bit more. OTOH, I have taken decently sharp shots with the 800/R7 combo handheld at as low as 1/30th of a second (and that is realistically around 6 stops), so the combination of the lens IS and the IBIS seems to be delivering handsomely.

Does the RP have the focus ring sensitivity setting the R5 has? That might help reduce the focus throw when set to 'varies with rotation speed'. On RF lenses the focus( r)ing is completely controlled by software, it isn't mechanically coupled like the EF USM lenses were.

Ok, turns out I was wrong! The last time I tried out switching to speed instead of degree was with the RF35, which did not actually do much, but yesterday I tried it out on the 100-400 on a whim and what a gamechanger! This was my only gripe about that lens and now focus is just super sensitive. Absolutely love it!
