at 8 mg i should be getting a much sharper image before enhancement.

if this is what i am getting to begin with even the miracle of ps is not gonna help too much.

this lens does not live up to its promotion IMO but i would be happy to be proven wrong.


i can take one a 75mm and get better results but why have the 75-300 if that is the case?
Looks to me like a poor lens wide open. If you get better results at 75mm, but worse at 300, then it's obviously a matter of the lens. Do you have any quality optics to compare it to? Like a 50mm? Have you tried stopping down to the f/8-f/11 range and taking shots in bright daylight? Are those sharp?
