I tried turning the SR on, and despite many members who say that on a monopod it must be turn off, I find that most of my results are sharpest.

That's crazy turning SR off on a monopod. I don't even turn it off on a tripod most of the time. I turn it off if the tripod is locked, I'm on a 2 second delay (it goes off automatically) and my hand can be off the camera for the full two seconds. I've had enough shots ruined when I was slow getting my hand off the camera and it was still shaking when the timer went off to go with "no SR on a tripod."

That should be, "no SR when there is no chance of camera vibration". I've also left SR on when on a locked tripod, I could see gusts of wind vibrating my tripod. The problems of SR ruining an image are much smaller than the odds an inadvertent motion blurring an image with SR off. Especially on a monopod.

Two reasons for turning SR off. On a two second delay or remote shutter release on a heavy, locked tripod, , or panning. The rest of the time, leave it on.

With a monopod you can still have the camera move with hand shake.

Could someone post what the focal lengths are at each wide open aperture? i.e. 4.5 from 150-250... etc.

Clicking on the photo to flickr and redirects are exif, in my flirck there are many examples to all openings and focals.

The trouble with these shots is, you get a very good photographer,and the shots he gets are probably better than what you'd get. It's like the beautiful girl standing beside the Pontiac. You can buy the car, but the girl doesn't come with it.

People used to accuse me of doing the same with the DA 18-135.

Now I get to say it about someone else, I've been waiting a while for this.

Amazing shots, just wonderful! I'll never get shots like those, but as long as you and others do, I will still enjoy the heck out of them!

Norm......I've been lucky in my life to get the car and the girl...but that does not translate to photography, at least not for me!

Regards!

Those birds just jumped right on my desk !!!
I will have to call the Canadian Wildlife Authorities to report "alien" visitors.
That is insanely too sharp.
I would send this lens back and get a replacement, or sell it to me.
Cheers!
