I agree, and there are others such as limited control over updates (neither of which are popular with me), but I was just addressing the user interface/experience.
My win 7 PC is like an old car comfortable to drive & easy to park while my Wifes Win 10 machine
is like a new car, only not familiar.
Could you elaborate more on the settings you are using in Win 10 please?

Still got Win 7 on laptop & desk top. Gonna hang onto it as long as possible. Have heard much negative about Win 10.
Here's the problem with Winders. Every time I jump into one of my Chevy's the controls are familiar to an extent, from my 1969 C/10 to my 2011 Chevy Silverado. Unlike Windows moving from 7 to 10 is like jumping from a Porsche 356 B into a Subaru it's so different.
I liked win 7 from the start but win 10 is so different it's no fun. Why not build on to rather than a tear down, build back better mentality that has been running win users over to Open source for many years now.
Hey if you have to relearn the new Win offering each time, then why not just jump into Red Hat, Fedora, Linux so cool the names. It's time 4 me to do this Open source it has been there & it seems to be getting better every time I look
So good bye Winders.

My Linux machines work fine.
After I see win 10, I am done with winders for good.
I'm still using my old win 7 machine I have all the parts to build a new one however working on my Wifes Win 10 machine makes me sick. Win 10 sucks & that's being nice. I do think a new PC needs a better Op sys.
Open source it's about time. Good bye winders.

Before you go on a GAS attack, you might want to consider all aspects of the image creation process.
Are you capturing in RAW? Are you processing with software that maintains the image entirely as RAW or in 16-bit in other formats? Are you capturing with AF in continuous mode? How does your camera perform in the ISO range 1000 - 6400? Do you use a tripod and gimbal? Do you use selective focus with a single high-precision AF point on the bird's eye? How do you sharpen? Process noise? Are you using a filter on this lens? If yes, how does it look without this filter?
The colors and focus on the blue jay are superb. The grain at ISO-1000 seems a bit high, but one would have to see the unedited original to determine possible corrective actions such as seeking a brighter exposure in the camera or more noise processing in post or a newer camera with a different noise profile. The mockingbird shows much less noise at ISO-0200, but also a seemingly more significant crop.
If you navigate images in Flickr groups for "Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2", you can see results from a variety of cameras. But, one can't see all the processing involved, and only sometimes the camera type and EXIF.

What you say makes perfect sense, It makes my head hurt reading it LOL. All kidding aside I think the 2 examples of what the Tammy glass sees are great, perfect no! however perfect is a lot of work as @CHG_CANON has explained. It's not in my film shooting style right now, give me time.
If I was searching for a lens that would be better, I would choose the Nikkor 500mm AIS but thats me.
Unless you are trying to become a pro, then like many of us we buy Sigma, Tamron & not Nikkor due to the price.
In 1973 I chose a path that led me to spend thousands on tools while others were buying cheap tools they would soon come to regret.
Today most of the Tools I have have the name Snap-On, I would have never as a hobby mechanic spent near as much as I did working as a professional Master Mechanic. I made money to cover the cost of what I bought, to make money & raise my family. I do not regret a single dollar I spent on high quality tools like Snap_On brand.
Photography is a fantastic hobby but it is just a hobby 2 me, not a means of making money, so I buy Nikkor when I can. All the Sigma & Tamron lenses I have, work great if I do my best job of taking the photo.
Very nice focus & color capture I really like your background soft & dreamy.
Thanks for sharing :)
What is your EXIF?

... and phone cameras... what % ... well, next they will be saying that E-Cars will be the norm... Do you really think that? Think it or not, but Cell Cameras and E-Cars will be the norm, and DSLRs and Film Cameras will be on a shelf along with the double edge razor.
Just like all the obsolete beautiful Film cameras.
Already I have friends tell me they would rather use there cell phone camera, than buy another real camera.
Not me.

Interesting. I wonder how the quality compares, and I wonder about ease of access to HEIC files. Anything can on JPEGS. Now I'll look at your link.
Wow! Lots of info.
For years, that picture in the beginning of the article was hard to explain. Then they figured it out. I don't mean trick photography; I mean the rock leaving a trail as it crept along the ground.
It's looks interesting Jerry, I need to do more study on it for now.
I remember seeing a time lapse video of those rocks moving across
that dry lake bed. Who would have thought rocks could move like that.
Great shot in my backyard. :)
Welcome aboard Tom, you are welcome among us all.
Let us see some of your Pictures Tom.
Beautiful still life, B&W says it all.
Good to go with rebates from USAA.
