Hey all!
I've recently bought a 2nd hand Sigma 150-500mm lens to do some shots of birds from a bit further away. However I'm having a bit of trouble getting good focus on smaller birds. I've set the Focus on the 'middle spot', and what seems to look great in the viewfinder often comes out out of focus.
I've attached two examples. One of a Dunnock, which I 'think' is because i used to lower shutter speed (it was a gloomy morning) and a Blue Tit, that just doesn't seem right.
Both taken with the full 500. Any good advice?
Thanks!
