[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 544383, member: 9240"] Well, think of it this way, when you stick [I]any[/I] lens on a Nikon the lens is already "calibrated" in some fashion (in the factory) and you get to slam that on any body at any time with one single fine tuning adjustment and hope for the best. Here you tune the lens for the camera you use most and then adjust the same way you used to for any other body knowing you've nailed one point the same way you've done in the past. As I noted, when my brother did this with his lens he was perfect on one body and perfectly fine on any other body that wasn't a 1D, so you'd be the same way. With that said, yes, you can only fine tune the lens for one body at a time, but you can certainly perform the calibration on every body you own and in a couple minutes before going out hook the lens up to the dock and re-enter the parameters for the body you'll be using that day. It takes a bit of planning, but in general when you're going out with a lens like this you're not hot swapping from body to body, even if you're shooting a sporting event. You could also look at the values across [I]all[/I] bodies and select values for each of the 16 matrix points that give you the best accuracy across all your bodies. [/QUOTE]
