Thanks robin, Shame none of the reviews i read about the lens said anything about it being soft. It came top in all the reviews i read.

Thanks, I will give it a try. I had been using it at 300mm at F5.6 thinking i needed it to get a blurred background. I will change it now and and hopefully it will help.

Thanks again

Colin

Thank you both for your ideas. I shoot most of the time in manual setting the speed and aperture ( 5.6 normally for a blurred background ) and let the camera sort the rest out. I am guilty of leaving the built-in shake reduction on all the time.
I think some of the grain comes from th exposure compensation. I shoot in RAW all the time. I have not used the unsharp mask, as i will give it a try.
Thanks for your help i now have som ideas to try.

I have a sigma 70-300 F4-5.6 apo dg Macro lens. I am getting soft images and i dont know why. Even on a tripod and using the self timer and a fast shutter speed the images are not really sharp.

Im try to take wildlife shoots, so i have the focus on a single point and aim at the subjects eye.

I dont know what else to try as im getting very frustrated with it.

Any help will be most welcome.

Thanks Colin
