[Lakem0310]

Hi guys, I just ordered the canon rf 200-800 today and am super excited for it, my worry is about the order times, I have a roadtrip next month that I want the lens for and am nervous it would get here in time, anyone have reassurance or recommendations? Thanks!

Hi March41,

Congratulations on your getting your RF 200-800mm lens!   I just ordered mine today so hopefully I'll be getting it in 2 to 3 months.   lol

I'm going to check with B&H tomorrow.  Then, I'll do like Tom and use their Payboo card so that I can pay it interest free for a year.  Sounds like a good deal.  Then you'll get yours before me Rick !   lol

Very happy to hear the RF 200-800 is off the delayed shipping list.  Maybe I'll get a spooky 👻 🎃 surprise or early turkey .  

I got my PayBoo card in 2022.  I received instant approval.  Maybe it was because I had a body and bunch of other goodies in my cart  🤔  I didn't get the physical card for 10 days, but B&H let me shop with it immediately.

Oh Rick, you should of told me that I could shop immediately after approval of the Payboo card, cause I would of applied for one today.  My credit would've been approved as fast as yours if not faster.  I thought that it took them 10 days for approval.   No matter I already ordered it on my Visa that will reimburse me 5% of the purchase.   Rick, you might have your new RF 200-800mm F6.3-9 lens as stuffing in your Thanksgiving turkey!  😆   I know you'll get yours before mine is manufactured!  😆

Hi Rick,

Got back from Australia and decided to apply for the B&H PayBoo card, and was instantly approved to use immediately, like you mentioned.  However, they don't give you the card account number and I will have to wait until I get the card in the mail to change it from the one that I used to order the RF 200-800mm lens. I'll call them next week, maybe they can do it for me.  Nevertheless, I'm happy that I can get the 9.125% taxes taken off or take the 12 months special financing program.  Also, I checked out the "link" that Chris sent me, and it was fun to put faces to voices.  You really love your R5 C, don't you!    : )

Hi Joe,

Welcome back! Hope you had a wonderful trip

I'm glad the payboo card worked out for you. There's some cost savings associated with using it.  Hopefully it's just another month or two before my 200-800 ships.

I do really like my camera.  It's proven itself many times In performance and versatility.  I plan to test the new lens once it arrives.

Thanks Rick,

I also hooe that you get your RF 200-800mm lens soon, at least before Thanksgiving!  I have some time to wait before mine ships.  TomRamsey, posted a pic of a multicolored crane which looks really nice.  That extra 200mm makes a big difference.   Can't wait to see your pics once you get your lens.  Let us know when you get your email confirmation that it shipped.
