Some others have been reasonable. If I want to go to the expense of getting more consistently sharp shots, then I'd be looking at a 5K lens and that's probably second hand. Law of diminishing returns though, I would maybe only achieve a net gain of 5% in sharpness over the very best I can take now. For all those awesome stationary bird shots you see online a fast 500mm plus lens is necessary I believe. For the most part birds just don't let you get close enough to behave like they do in those shots. It's got to be that they can't see you. So it's filling the frame at long distances from the subject, with a lens that performs extremely well right through to the maximum focal length. I'm thinking about the Sigma 300-800mm 5.6 as my next lens. I hear it's wonderful for hand held BIF shots.</p></blockquote><p></p>
