There's a voice that keeps on calling me
Down the road, that's where I'll always be
Every stop I make, I make a new friend
Can't stay for long, just turn around and I'm gone again......

Very fitting for a lab. Ours is definitely a runner.

A touch of playing as a grey plane against a flat grey sky just doesn't work.

I see some softness in some of these shots. I wonder how many are hand held, versus tripod mounted. But hard to beat the focal length at this price.

Which ones are you referring to?

I shoot birds handheld only but the Tam is softest at 600mm. But there is no extra sharp in that price range.

All mine are hand held,cant carry the lens and a tripod

600mm prime it isnt but when everything falls into place it aint that bad.

As has been said all mine are handheld aswell.

Scott one of yours where you do mention it is hand held is the Australasian Fig Bird. You also have the lens extended way out there. I guess all these affordable super teles are full of challenges when it comes to focal length. I use a Sigma 50/500 latest version, and have a very difficult time with softness at extreme focal length. I have tried it on both my D300s, and My D7100. Oddly the D7100 does a far worse job of focusing, and holding focus. I have gone back to using my Nikor 70/300 with that body, and keep the Sigma on the older D300s. But if I had to do it again, I would pass on the Sigma, and would have bought the Nikon 80/400 and just lived with the focal length difference. I understand even at 2,200 it is a superior lens to the Sigma in every way.
