I think Tamron has a firmware update that addresses the AF issue on some bodies.Danny you have me really thinking now. I have avoided using Wifeys 70d, but I should put the Tampster on it to see if there are any significant differences getting BIF.

It actually tracks BIF fine as long as there is decent contrast. The D7100 focuses at F8 so that isn't a problem. I think there was a glitch with certain Canon bodies. The 120-300 Tracks much better, but of course there is much more light getting to the AF system at F2.8.If you can that would be good Jaca. The guy I was talking to was just saying it was not that good for BIF's. But here we are with BIF's from Kris ...... I must check your flickr account again Jaca. Having said that, this guy uses Canon fast lenses as well, so maybe its an F/stop thing with PDAF at F/6.3 (like the old Canon lenses, original versions when used with a 2x TC), I'm not sure to be honest. Maybe its just that he hasn't thrown the right switches or settings, that could well be it and knowing him, it wouldn't surprise meDanny you have me really thinking now.

All the best and be interesting to know your guys thoughts on it.

Are you talking about the 20K shot? You have to be really close and not crop, lol...How do you get that kinds of images on that high ISO? I must be doing something wrong because I seem to lose feather detail a lot more than you when using higher ISO numbers...
Yup, it's not quite the level of Sharpness I was expecting. I need a few more days with it. But I can tell it was front focusing a touch. I didn't adjust it till the end of shooting yesterday..Jeepers creeper Kris! And you're still 'wondering' ?..

I agree 100%, but I also didn't do my normal sharpening. It is in a different league than the 120-300, but still pretty acceptable sharpness.. Here is one I did some sharpening to..Could just be me but the sharpness just doesn't look right, does anybody else see this or is it just me.
Here's the thing, everyone thinks they need more reach. The truth of the matter is you have to still get close and just let the lens be the lens. This whole post was shot at 300mm on my 120-300.. http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/nature-wildlife/360154-colorful-afternoon-pic-heavy.htmlI need me a lens that gets that close =D
have you checked here? http://ebird.org/ebird/eBirdReports?cmd=StartKris, you're right .. not up to par. So I recommend that you quickly Box that lens up and send it to me.
I'll take care of it from this point on. No problem.
seriously though ... those photos are awesome. Makes me want to have one and go birding.
I have been looking around at birding places but big birds don't like this area.
FWIW though, during a soccer game we were visited by turkey buzzards and later some Hawk was flying through being attacked by black bird (diving bombing up and down).
LOL, did you see the one halfway down the first page at ISO 20000?I'd be curious to see lower light samples.

I didn't even know that one can shoot at ISO 20000. :meh:LOL, did you see the one halfway down the first page at ISO 20000?
