Hello,

My question is about lens sharpness and lens calibration.
I was trying to compare two lenses Nikon 70-210 5.6 & Nikon 35-70 2.8 the body is a D600
When taking a picture at the same settings and same focal length, aperture,ISO and shutter speed

70mm focal length
Aperture 4
Shutter 1/60
ISO 100

The 70-210 seems a bit sharper, at least to my eyes.
One very noticeable point is the 2.8 makes a much brighter photo at the same settings.

​So I was thinking of lens calibration to make the 2.8 sharper. Not having much experience I am putting the question out there.
What do you guys think? I could post some pictures.
Regards

Post pictures and always do your lens comparisons by using a tripod.
