I think low contrast and low light situations definitely affect autofocus capability. Any atmospheric disturbance does too such as heat waves. Mist and fog really make it tough to get razor sharp images.

PS I went out at sunset tonight and found some Killdeer....have to process them and then I will post.
Thanks, Joel! It was very foggy all morning and just plan drab and cold up until about 10 minutes before I was leaving, then the sun came out and temps went up! I ended up just taking my good old 100-400mm which now I am glad I did since there wasn't much to shoot at anyway!

I have a few more killdeer shots to go thru also, looking forward to seeing yours!
