[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 542806, member: 6277"] Ok, I now have the Tamron 150-600 in my kit full time and am starting to try to figure out the best way to shoot it. May take a while. Here are the questions/statements. I have in the past shot with my D7100 with the Nikon 70-300 and had good success with single focus using BBF (AF-C by holding down the button) Tried this with the 150-600 and it is near impossible to track a bird. Did not have very many birds flying so really did not have a lot of chances to check out the different methods though. Went through Single, 21, 51 etc all the way to 3-D. Only had one bird fly while I was on 3-D but it did track it. So the question for those that shoot this lens what is the best focus method for shooting BIF? Still shots are pretty much dead on without any fine tuning. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]203629._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]203630._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
