Congrats, it looks like your off to a good start and able to shoot wide open which will help with ISO in low light.

Thanks.  More like 5'. He was there for 3 hrs. and didn't seem to mind us and seemed curious with all the going ons

Juvenile Bald Eagle ( view Original Size and then click on it) Now if I could only get shots like this from say ... 50'!

> I think Abbot had it > yes, but the f stop zoom thing is independant of the cam settings. This of course is only useful if your copy is good wide open ... like mine :). I shoot M with Auto ISO I ...

A nice review that pretty well mirrors what I found when testing the two side by side. The only difference being that I had issues with the Tamron and BIF, possibly a firmware update fixed most of ...

Congrats. I've got no real complaints since downsizing from the 150-600 to the Sig 100-400. That 100mm vs 150 is like shooting full frame when doing 150mm dx body. Now ... if you could swing a d500

whats with those white disc(reflectors?) in her eyes, kinda ruins it for me

Three shot sequence shot with D500+Sig 100-400. View Original Size

Placed 3^rd in the challenge.

If you've got the dock/software then load it up. You will see that there are three settings and each setting has 3 options. So Dynamic,Stadard and Moderate are 1 of the three settings and the ...

thanks. About 30'

Back to standard vs dynamic. I took over 900 shots of an eagle yesterday morning. I see some differences in results experienced with dynamic. Starting before the sun was on it and through various ...

So I've been using Standard for awhile now and it hasn't let my expectations down yet. As noted above it's more jittery, not unlike having no OS on. I have also been trying to see how it is at ...

Theres a lot of elements that go into maintaining focus and sometimes I'll get more keepers but distance, bad lighting, things between you and the bird,  bird twisting/turning, angle of attack, ...

Yes.

Interesting thoughts Lokatz. I have C1 on Dynamic and Moderate on C2 but I've hardly used it, so I reset it to Standard. Will try this out to see how it compares. But really I am not sure if it's a ...

I had the Sig 150-600C too. Does the 60-600 faster AF? Also I found my copy was best at 7.1 for IQ, what is the best on your lens? I had tried the 150-600S briefly out in the field but couldn't see ...

Not being a Cannon person I would say that the prime should have overall better IQ than the Tamron but you loose a lot of the details you mentioned. That Tammy may not be sharp wide open and thus ...

I've written in other threads my thoughts on the Sig 100-400  and vs. the Tamron 100-400. I can shoot my Sig 100-400 wide open which really helps in low light in the North West. The AF still isn't ...

This sounds promising. Besides the nose issue I find the finder often fogs up from my breathing. I think I'll give it a try, thanks.
