I am having problems getting sharp images out of my lens. so I just did a bunch of testing and set the micro adjust at +7. it seems much better, but I need to take it out and shoot some critters to be sure

I miss my 100-400, seriously thinking of getting one again instead of the Sigma 50-500!

Here's an old example..

Sharp at 400mm!

Muttukadu backwaters is a lagoon sheltered from the the Bay of Bengal by a sandbar, about 20 km or so south of Chennai India. I got a ride in a rowboat there and was able to approach the pelicans fairly close without spooking them. All were taken with the 7D and the 100-400L.

These are spot-billed pelicans. I believe they are near-threatened or vulnerable according to IUCN. I saw quite a few of them at Muttukadu, perhaps around 50.

I always enjoy seeing photos of birds in faraway places and I am happy to return the favor. Hope you enjoy them!

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.
