[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 136210, member: 9521"] I'm going to go a little opposite of H-fish's suggestion and say leave VR on until you 100% comfortable at holding a camera super steady. And while altering the aperture will increase your depth of field, it will also increase the exposure times, which can be problematic if you're using this for low light situations. Lenses tend to be at their sharpest when the aperture is approx 1 to 1.5 stops smaller than their maximum opening. Secondly, the D7000 is much like a professional camera and by that I mean your lenses can be fine tuned to perfect their focus. You will find few of your lenses are perfect "as-is" and that most of your lenses will require some subtle focus adjustments. When you have some time on your hands, about an hour or so, fine tune your auto-focus to match each of your lenses. The values you put for each lens will be remembered by your camera and each time you put the lens on, it will adjust to match your settings. Here are a couple of charts and instructions for fine tuning your lenses. These below are just a few of all the charts and instructions that exist, do a google search and you'll find ton's on information on fine tuning your lenses.
