I like the working distance that provides, and the really nice out of focus backgrounds, but....... I've had focus issues. Perhaps it's because I'm used to shooting macro with a 105 and flash, giving me the flexibility of using smaller apertures like F16 or smaller. With the long tele, it's available light, and sometimes handheld, or with the dragonfly swaying in the wind, and so I am forced to use larger apertures, or extremely high ISOs. Of course, I see you used F11. You must have taken this in full sun with a shutter speed roughly half your ISO and one stop down from F16. Too many robbing Peter to pay Paul situations in photography.</blockquote>
