[QUOTE="Woodyg3, post: 644585, member: 24569"] LOL. I did not know I would be opening such a can of worms here. Some of you are really overthinking this. Also, some of you have strayed way off topic. Here is what I see as the situation. The 18-140mm has given many photographers very good and reasonably sharp results. Mine does not give sharp results at any aperture or shutter speed, and this is not VR or focus fine tuning related. It's just a bad copy. Let me say this again. Based on the feedback here, it is clear that I GOT A BAD COPY. By the way, I think I got a BAD COPY of a generally good lens. Finally, I just want to add that the lens I got must have slipped through quality control and is simply not up to standards. You might say that I just got a BAD COPY. :) :) :) [/QUOTE]
