Nice shots!

I certainly could've used an 800mm for shots of red headed ducks on our lake.  I used my RF 600mm F11 but didn't quite have the reach.

Other than distance shots, I'm not so sure I'd get my monies worth for it.  I already find the RF 600mm F11 to be too much for some of my shots and BIF shots I agree might be a huge challenge with an 800mm lens.

I also am concerned about the extend retract feature of the lens.  I had a push/pull EF zoom that collected a lot of dust instead that I couldn't clean.  I don't know if this lens would eventually have the same problem.
