OK, this guy was very high up in a tree, near the top of tall a tree, and it was getting late in the evening, so the light was not great. I was using my 7D II and Tammy 150-600mm. I finally got my lens calibrator from the mail, and I think I am getting it close. I had to go to +15 on MA. Anyway, these are highly cropped.

They look excellent so I agree you are at least close.

Thanks John,
Since getting the 150-600 I haven't been pleased with it. At first I was using it on my 7D. Pics not good. Then I got the 7D2 and they were better, but still not acceptable. I even sent it back to Tamron for updating the firmware and check out.

Now with the calibrator I am getting closer. But to tell you the truth when I put my 70-200 f2.8 II and 2x TC I get much better pics even though that is only 400mm. I am not giving up on it. I will still try to hone it in to the correct MA. Hopefully it will have sharp pics in the future. I know they are capable. I have seen the pics others on this site have made with theirs.
