OK guys/gals - what's your take on the 800/5.6 ED-IF for distance work?

Looks great for near-ish stuff like Jose has done.

John, I have not shot many things at > 100-200m to infinity:

My only samples above 100m are these old ones:

~200mm:

Lazy young guy vs. working hard old man by Jose, on Flickr

Test of the Nikkor 800mm f/5.6 AIS EDIF + TC20EIII (=1600 f/11).
Shot with D7000, tripod, ISO 200 f/16 (=8) at 1/160s. ~ 20% cropped. ~200m of distance.


~550m:

1600mmf11 - 650m away by Jose, on Flickr

Test shot of the old Nikkor 800mm f/5.6 + TC20EIII = 1600mm f/11.
D600 + 800/5.6 + TC20EIII + tripod + remote shutter, ISO 320, f/22 (f/11x2) at 1/200s.




More than 700m:

Fireworks 800mm ais EDIF f5.6 by Jose, on Flickr

D300 + Nikkor 800mm ais f/5.6 EDIF
Fireworks detail, New Year 2012; 15 s exposure at f/16.


Infinity:

Moon with V1 and a 4320mm equivalent telephoto by Jose, on Flickr

V1 + FT1 + TC20EIII + Nikkor 800mm f/5.6 ai-s EDIF + tripod + remote shutter; ISO 800, f/11 or f/16 at 1/80s. Due to the equivalent 4320mm tele, I had to make a 3 shots "pano".




Moon 800mm f/5.6+TC20EIII = 1600mm f/11 by Jose, on Flickr

Old test of the new TC20EIII on the old Nikkor 800mm f/5.6 AI-S EDIF.
D300, ISO 200, 1/50s at f/16(=8), tripod, MLU during 20 s, cable release. Spot metering, -0.33 EV.
Small pass of smart sharpen was applied, amount 50, 0.2 px.


See that I used a 2x TC, so image with naked lens would be better.
Even in the less probable case you do not like the lens, surely you can sell it by (at least) the same price you bought it.
