I like my A* 600-F5,6... but they are kinda hard to come by, I
don't think they are still in production.
Some shots made with this one....

Couldn't find anything recent I shot with the lens only.
I find the lens quite sharp, even wide open (I think the
robin was shot wide open (i.e. 900mm F8) but I can't
remember... oh well.
Cheers!
