[QUOTE="Calgary 617, post: 22435, member: 6349"] Right now I don't really see why you complain. Do you have real issues with the sharpness? What focus mode did you use? For moving subjects I usually use AF-C with 21 points dynamic area. That way I get my shots of moving birds and other things approaching me in focus and sharp with the tracking. That's on my D300 by the way, but it should also be possible to get those settings on a D5000 I guess. The 50-500 is a great lens and you can get really sharp shots with it, but it takes some time to get used to the focal length on a DX body. I practiced with my 150-500 really hard (over one week, every day 2-3 hours) until I was finally able to get results I wanted and expected. Here are some shots a guy I know took with the 50-500 of running dogs at dog races (sorry the website is from Germany and in German): [url]http://www.speed-pictures.de/gallery32/index.html[/url] He is using a lot of Sigma lenses as a professional, don't worry about the lens being bad too much or something.
