This is sharp as I can get it without going too far....

Thanks for posting this. It inspired me to tweak my original post processing to see if I can get anything more out of it with Darktable.

My initial impression - based off this one image - is that the lens is not sharper than my 300mm plus 1.4xTC combo.

Yeah, that's not surprising and is about what I was expecting. After all, the 300 is a phenomenal prime lens and this is "just" a consumer grade zoom
