[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 264384, member: 8705"] Between my wife and I we have two bought new Nikkor 70-200 vrii lenses, two D7100 and a D800 body. The variation is just as you describe on your lens and varies between bodies. It's normal. Also you can only tune a lens at one focal length and distance to subject. Unfortunately that's just physics. I tend to tune at the long end as you are more likely to have shallow depth of field. I have focal but ended up using tethered test shots against a stuffed animal target with longer lenses, such as these with teleconvertors. [/QUOTE]
