I uploaded a 100% crop. As I said earlier in this thread, it is ok for a handheld 300mm 36MP shot with no VR. It is not pro level. This is the lens in question:
That's good for a 100% crop. Not sure how relevant it is though in this thread. Also, why did you shot at 100mm and not 300mm? You where clearly some distance away from the bird if it's a 100% crop.I am getting with a Panasonic 100-300mm sharper images, this image of the bird was taken through a quite tight mesh fence, and handheld.........
Hope you do not mind some criticism but if you posted a photo then I suppose it is acceptable (that is why I do not post any - yetI am getting with a Panasonic 100-300mm sharper images, this image of the bird was taken through a quite tight mesh fence, and handheld.........

In this gear forum in a thread about lens sharpness I don't really see how that is relevant.

The bird is gorgeous and looks very sharp to me but for my taste I really do not like the bokeh. Maybe that kind ofuniform look is desirable but I think it detracts from the bird somehow. No doubt others will come on and say what gorgeous bokeh it is ! It really is a case of one man's meat .....
I think it is pretty good for a 300mm handheld at 1/500 with no VR. It can do better on a tripod at ISO100. I'm not disappointed with my old screw-focus "D" Nikkor.
Yes, you are correct. To be honest I am at the very early stage of learning about bokeh and wondered what others thought. I tried to be gentle and make it clear it was a personal subjective opinion. If a lens can produce a sharp image but with good/bad bokeh I thought that maybe it was relevant. As an example, I have just bought a 50mm 2.8D on a whim and was all excited when I read it is one of Nikon's sharpest lenses. A few days later after reading lots of posts on here about it I was disappointed to discover I should have spent a little bit more on the G version as mine might be super sharp but has lousy bokeh.In this gear forum in a thread about lens sharpness I don't really see how that is relevant.

Paultr.....re the bokeh.......as I wrote I shoot the bird through a very tight mesh fence and the bird was also in a cage, so not a larger background, and the bokeh is in this instance the mesh of the fence.....I did take your thoughts absolute not personally.....under a different situation the lens would have produced a different bokeh, see here :Yes, you are correct.

Sorry again
I was thinking the same thing, he must have a monitor of not so good resolution. On my monitor and on my tablet, they look quite sharp.
Well weaker eyes do not see things sharper, they see things less sharp.
I kind of agree with you, I guess there may be a slight backfocus as someone has pointed out to me in that test shot where the focus point was on the barcode. This is wide open at 5.6
What kind of zoom it that, does it extend to 300mm?Paultr.....re the bokeh.......as I wrote I shoot the bird through a very tight mesh fence and the bird was also in a cage, so not a larger background, and the bokeh is in this instance the mesh of the fence.....I did take your thoughts absolute not personally.....under a different situation the lens would have produced a different bokeh, see here :Yes, you are correct.

Forgot to add, there is already some cropping involved with the Dove shot to get rid of the unwanted bits, while the Giraffe shot is not cropped.
