    Can a lens be that bad !

    I have just bought an older lens to try & see if I like nature photography ?
    It is a silver plastic Sigma 100-300 & I am using it on my Sigma SD15.
    The pix I took today look like I have far too much noise
    Very grainy & spotty colours, nothing in sharp focus. I can see it was getting DoF OK.
    I was using manual mode with both auto-focus & manual focus.
    I had it set for f10, ISO200 & white balance for a sunny day, adjusted the exposure for zero, each shot.
    I have a sturdy tri-pod.
    I know I need more reach now, but image quality is bad
    I have a new lens 18-200 & it is OK, just not the length.
    Cheers
