Or this one? The focus is on the front birds eye. The other bird is out of focus.

Yes this one. I am not trying nit pic anyone's work, or b judge and jury. It was meant as a general observation of the overall collection of shots for the Tamron lens. I see the same things in the Sigma. I guess if they made it faster glass it would double the priceOr this one? The focus is on the front birds eye. The other bird is out of focus.
Hmmm I thought it was quite sharp, and it should have been as I think I had 6 beers just before so I was steady as a fenceYes this one. I am not trying nit pic anyone's work, or b judge and jury.

Scott one of yours where you do mention it is hand held is the Australasian Fig Bird. You also have the lens extended way out there. I guess all these affordable super teles are full of challenges when it comes to focal length. I use a Sigma 50/500 latest version, and have a very difficult time with softness at extreme focal length. I have tried it on both my D300s, and My D7100. Oddly the D7100 does a far worse job of focusing, and holding focus. I have gone back to using my Nikor 70/300 with that body, and keep the Sigma on the older D300s. But if I had to do it again, I would pass on the Sigma, and would have bought the Nikon 80/400 and just lived with the focal length difference. I understand even at 2,200 it is a superior lens to the Sigma in every way.
Not my best as I was only able to shoot it through a closed glass window, dam shame really
