I've had a lot of focus problems in the past. So, I replaced my D3100 with a Tamron 18-270 lens and treated myself with a D5600 body and a Tamron 18-400 lens. I live along a river and have some great opportunities for this hobby!

My initial question was if my Nikon D3100 with a Tamron 18-270 would do a good job for a crisp photo at 100 yards. I also need to learn how to understand camera settings.
Thank You!

I have a Nikon D3100 with a Tamron 18-270 Lens. I use the VC always but I can't get a sharp photo. I only photograph wildlife. I admit I need a lot of help with camera settings but I'm wondering if I can expect the lens to do a good job at 100 yards. I live along a river so that's about as close as I can get.
Thank You for any help!

The Osprey is a fascinating bird of prey to watch!
