Hi All

Got tired of fighting with my old Sigma 170-500 and the a350, so I traded the lens in for a new Tamrom 70-300 Di LD, for a $300.00 it seems not bad

Lovely shots, but sharpness wise, imho, you have to pay more attention, or is it the lens? Colors are great though.

Hi,

Good luck on your new purchase...new range, new possibilities! :D

I agree that the sharpness is a bit off in some of your shots. The second Black Pacific Duck photo looks very sharp though, which actually means you are very capable of catching sharp frames too...The colours of the paraket are nice and bright, ..if only it were fully in focus!

:D Enjoy shooting and thanks for sharing,
Yildiz

I don't thing the focus problem is hardware related, I think it's all me :(
