Now that makes a bit more sense on the photo detail, and also explains your post on the comparitive mimimum focus distance. You are getting
very very close to the birds. I certainly am impressed with your patience and disguise skills. Now we need a photo of you hidden while shooting bird...should be fun
Here is about the best I have been able to get out of the 170-500, slight crop but not at 500mm end. This was a luck shoot as the bird landed in front of me and stayed for a minute. On mono-pod, while on a small boat, so SR did it work. But still think the 50-500 is a notch up on IQ.
