I don't know what you're talking about.
I played with that thing for 20 minutes in LR to get it just right. If you'd like, I could send you the RAW file so you can play with it as well.:encouragement:

We were all trying capture a few of these tiny fast flying birds (I don't know what they are called). It was a good workout on my arm.

I noticed that you guys with the super zooms were using some really fast shutter speeds, even on the "stationary" shots. Is that the nature of the long lens?

I could have used a little slower SS but what if the bird was going to take off and start flying? I rather just keep at high SS and not keep changing settings. On the D750 it's even less of a problem where I can go high ISO and not worry much.
