We saw some hawks flying around while we were at work. Obviously we dropped what we were doing and grabbed our cameras. We both had a 70-200 f/2.8 with a 1.4x teleconverter. My friend has a 5D MKII. We compared our results after and mine were much sharper.
We were pretty sure it wasn't operator error so we did a bunch of comparison shots of stumps and other still objects. Mine was still much sharper. We tried removing his B+W clear filter, shooting without the TC, and using his 24-105L lens. We would have swapped bodies/lenses but mine is a Nikon (not trying to rip on Canon here, I know his pics should look better and I just want to help him with that).
Since switching lenses did not bring about any improvement, I am led to believe that it is the camera body. I don't think that it is front/back focussing because there is nothing in front or behind of the subject that is any sharper. I am out of ideas, can anyone help?
