[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 736895, member: 13556"] Be aware that there are likely variations of sharpness between lenses of the same model. Manufacturing tolerances drive this; without them, none of us would be able to afford a lens. I own the 300 f2.8 VR AF-S and it is sharper than I can utilize in some conditions. I make sure it is AF fine tuned to my cameras and use a monopod or tripod when I need to and can. I also have a very old Nikkor 300 f4.5, which is a manual focus lens. It is one of the sharpest lenses I own when I can take the time to carefully focus it. For me, it is absolutely useless for in-motion subjects. BTW, what do you plan to primarily shoot with it? That would factor into the determination of whether to buy the lens or the D500. WM [/QUOTE]
