There can be one tenth of a millimetre difference but it's impossible to be that accurate in practice anyways. We rarely shoot at an exact magnification so I use rough values like 1x, 0.8x, 0.6x and 0.5x which I can eyeball using my focus points.I have the other numbers on my PC since I use them on the D3300 so I have to verify if that formula is identical or not. If it is identical to this, I messed up by using f/8 instead of f/11. If it is different, some test shots will tell. I got the D750 after the macro season so I didn't have any chance to put it into practice with this one. I know when it starts to fall apart but shooting text and pencils isn't the same as shooting bugs.For this cam 3 stops into shutter instead of 4 would make little difference since its low light performance is better than the D3300. F/11 is also ok since I only trade in about 5% lens performance by then which, when cropped, will still outperform the 30% performance loss at f/32. Shooting at f/8 only adds another 3% performance which likely won't be enough to crop at 0.42x. For the D3300 it was even more profitable since that one really fell apart at f/32 or higher. I shot plenty that close down or closed to its max and at 100% the shots were all fuzziness.</blockquote>
