[QUOTE="Ken B, post: 790208, member: 37030"] My main lens for walking around opportunistic bird pics is a Tamron 70-200, 2.8, which I’ve had for 6 years and had success with on the D7100. I’ve also used the Nikon 200-500. I also have the Nikon 18-200 for DX. All are great on still subjects, none are good with BIF. Very difficult to grab focus. To help diagnose, I rented a copy of the identical Tamron, and had identical results after calibration. I usually delete out of focus shots. I’ll look for examples, and if I don’t have any, I’ll go out and shoot some BIF. Thanks for the help. My next thought is to rent another D500 and see if there’s a difference. [/QUOTE]
