On the SL2 I'm finding it challenging to get sharp images at 600mm. I don't use a tripod but have used a monopod and the issue is the same. Need very good light so that you can keep the shutter speed up at usable iso. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As previously mentioned here many times, there's shutter slap with these cameras which is amplified by the mechanical shutter when used with long lenses.

One possibility might be the OS but I did try both settings 1 and 2 and hand held for a while without any noticeable change. Could be motion blur as I had to use lower shutter speeds than I am comfortable with. But I had my 90-280 with me and the difference in sharpness at similar settings was stark. The image below was one of the few I regarded as a keeper but it is still not as sharp as I would like. I don't use any sharpening software apart from Lightroom. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.J. Posted December 29, 2021 Share #46  Posted December 29, 2021 I heard there is an issue using back button autofocus on the SL2 with some Sigma lenses.  Can anyone who owns this lens confirm if it works or doesn’t work?  Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, BBF with Sig 150-600 on SL2 just fine.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
