[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 183945, member: 9521"] I've tuned both a D7000 and a D800 and in both cases it was a back and forth ordeal that took several hours to get it right. I would start by moving from zero to +/- 5 and repeat until I got it within +/- 1 and repeat. With each new change I would take a minimum of 3 shots before I concluded I whether or not it was better or worse. It's also important to force the lens to re-obtain focus with each shutter release otherwise the results seem to be misleading. Having the camera tethered to my computer (via Nikon Camera Control, or LR) made it infinitely easier than doing it piecemeal. But while it's a giant pain in the arse to tune all your lenses, in the end it's so worth it when you start seeing those super sharp and crisp photos on your computer screen. [/QUOTE]
