To get a full-frame camera with the same sensor, processor, and autofocus features as the more expensive R6 MKII is not bad at all. I am excited to continue to learn about this camera and I will be posting the results.

After seeing the results from my trip to Oak’s Bottom I wanted to try two things to try to get better clarity and sharpness. I used the Manfrotto monopod and made sure that the shutter speed was above a minimum of 1/500 and most of the time it was well over that. Even with these two considerations I still had a hard time getting really sharp photos. The following photos are the best out of the day but below them are examples of other shots that just weren’t as good but show the softness of the sharpness of this lens. Even with bright sun and a variety of settings, it was hard to get very sharp results.
Having a full-size sensor would probably help get the ISO down but I don’t have a full-size sensor. I did crop most of these photos and used quite a bit of noise reduction. I have noticed quite a lot of noise with the Sigma. The lens is not very fast and the APSC sensor creates hurdles when dealing with balancing settings and getting usable shots.

Sigma 150-300mm Contemporary and Canon 100mm Macro for the flower photo. Everything else was shot using the Sigma lens. This is only the second outing and I’m starting to learn how to wield this heavy long lens. It really lets you reach out to things you could never get with a 300mm lens.
