Re: Picture sharpness on Canon M6 ii with Tamron 100-400mm

Damn, now I'm wondering whether there may indeed be an issue with the unit. I will have to do some testing under better conditions to be sure, but the difference between my pictures and your second one is quite stark.

I do wonder, though, do you keep on pressing the focus button (whether back-button or shutter) while shooting, so that the camera is searching continually?

If the subject is not moving, I generally stop the focusing process when it looks fine in the viewfinder, so I generally don't have different focus points within a burst of pictures. But since the camera often gets it completely wrong (as in the sitution with the kingfisher described above) I don't really trust it getting it right if I kept on focusing. I suppose that could be either a camera issue or a lens issue (similar to those pulsing issues some people report when using Sigma telephotos on the new R7).

Is any of this potentially improveable with the tap-in console? Have you used it yourself?

Thanks again for all the input, it's good to hear about someone else's experiences with the same setup!
