This page looks at far distance imagery under typical mountain conditions. Many of the images have a pair of apertures—wide open and stopped down.

The findings here show just how difficult it is to make sharp images with a super-tele with commonplace atmospheric conditions, that is, atmospheric distortion that smears image details like finger painting smearing.
