So I'm trying to figure out what's going on with my 150-450 lens. It's a little over a month old at this point, just for reference.
So I was out at the Falcon Heavy launch the other day. I was 3 miles out from the pad with a clear line of sight. However, no matter what I did, I could not get a good focus on the rocket or the pad. As you can see in my picture, there's a US flag on the rocket, a spacex logo as well as one on the water tower. I tried using autofocus, and no luck. Then I switched to manual focus and simply could not dial it in with the focus ring. I was zoomed in at 450mm, and shooting in crop mode on the k1
Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I can't say I've had any issues with the lens other than this. I've used it with wildlife at 450mm (although not in crop mode) with success. I'm slightly worried that I may have a bad copy of the lens now. Not ruling out operator error here, but I have no idea where to start.
