It was taken in jpg only, and just doesn't look sharp to me. Part of it was the distance from which I took it....part of it was that it was my first day using a lens of that size.

Some PP might help with the image at small sizes (since "sharp" is relative) but there is nothing that will make a 100% crop of it sharp. Brad Moore

Make sure that if your shooting without a tripod that your shutter speed at least stays at or above your focal length for telephoto lens. They increase any movement you make. In this case your were shooting at 1/125 @ 300mm (ISO 100). Increase your ISO if you need to bump up the shutter speed or open up your aperture more.

AF was on, and focal point was where it should have been. Wasn't a huge fan of the lens (it was a borrowed Sigma 70-300mm non-APO) but it wasn't mine to complain about. Blog
