Smile Re: lens help

Hi tezza,
You have been given excellent advice above. Your problem is not likely to be the lens or the camera, more probably your technique or tripod, or both. The problem sounds like camera shake. If you have a small, lightweight, tripod and are using it with the centre column raised, then you are almost certain to get camera shake. Similarly if you are using a quick-release plate, check that the fit is tight and does not wobble. If you have no-one with some experience of long lenses who can help then check the above on your tripod, make sure your camera is set with a reasonable shutter speed (at least 1/125sec – higher if possible) and try some test shots again.
David
