[QUOTE="hark, post: 756946, member: 13196"] I am still testing out this lens after getting it back from Nikon repair. No matter whether I use single point or dynamic 153, focusing just doesn't quite cut it in this type of situation - lots of background branches with a bird or raptor. There simply isn't a whole lot of contrast, and with the lens at f/6.7 wide open (when coupled with the 1.7x TC), it has trouble creating a sharp image. And even though my lens was stopped down to f/8 for this, the AF just doesn't quite cut it in this situation. On a side-note, every image of this Great Blue Heron makes me think it must be blind in this eye. :( [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]354740._xfImport[/ATTACH] Earlier this afternoon I photographed a couple of geese. Normally I keep my shutter speed at 1/2000". Unfortunately I forgot to switch it back after setting it at 1/1250" for the grazing geese. :rolleyes: Fortunately sooc the sharpness was better than I expected. Some PCC Shake Reduction also helped. :encouragement: Dynamic 153 also works MUCH better with flying subjects than single point with this combo.
