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.</p></blockquote><p></p>
