[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 570541, member: 6277"] I got a RAW image and they are a bit softer then they should be. They were shot with a 600mm (900mm effective) lens and that can be very tricky. I know it took me some time to get my shots with my Tamron 150-600 sharp on my D750. Which 150-600 do you have? shooting at 900mm at 1/1250 is probably a bit slow. crank it up to at least 1/1500. But I still don't think that is you problem based on the RAW file I saw. Nothing was quite in focus the the shot. I would recheck your focus modes. again. Set it on spot and put the camera on a tripod. Make sure both auto focus switches are turned on. Then shoot with the VR turned off and look at the shot on the computer. Try it again with the VR turned off. I have turned mine off all the time now and get better shots with it off. I just make sure I shoot fast enough to not need it. If it looks good on the tripod then you need a faster shutter speed (But again I do not think this is the problem) Check your focusing on a different lens and see what the results are. If good then recheck the 150-600. You said you have FoCal. What distance did you use to check it with. You should set it on 600mm and the target should be right at 100 feet away. I had to put my target in the back yard and leave a door open to set it. Once I set it I played a little with the number on the target by shooting 1 or 2 about and below and pixel peeping to see it there was any difference (There wasn't) [/QUOTE]
