Didn't see a thread for the RF200-800 so I figured I would see what folks have done with this lens.

Here are two from today.

Nice shot, tack sharp and you can see both the pilot and Navigator/Weapon Systems Operators.
 
I was down at the park looking for birds to photograph when this big bird flew over on it's approach to the nearby airport. This is cropped a bit from the original but not by much.

The general consensus is this lens is a good light lens and not suitable most of the time in the UK.
I thought I'd put it to the test today.
