On the other end of the spectrum from tiny blooms
Testing the 800mm + TC2 (1600mm)
I live 9 miles north and 3 miles due east from the northern flight path for Tampa International Airport, and I took these with the new 800mm lens, from my garage as I have shared some before with the 600mm.
Four test photos, each raw file, no crop no processing, followed by the cropped and post processed end result from PS camera RAW and Topaz Photo.
I judge quality by the text of the registration numbers and anyone I can see in the windows. I’m impressed with the 800 + TC2 for 1600mm, it is a cut above the 600mm +TC2 for 1200mm. Wholly expected with Prime vs Zoom.
I’m looking forward to some wildlife photos in the near future and will post them when that happens.

the farther away from the subject, the shallower the angle of view. In this case, distance of 3 miles at 2000 ft, about 7 degrees.
Geeking out, in this photo, 1/2 mile at 2000 ft, about 42 degrees, almost a belly shot.
But wait! There is a trick I like to use as in this photo. Be in a spot where the plane is banking, dipping the wing in my direction, and....boom, I'm level or above the plane of the plane. Photographic magic. You can see a bunch of those here:
