[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 814201, member: 46724"] I dont see where you've listed any of your lenses other than the 18-105. Have you played around with [URL='https://www.dxomark.com/Lenses/Nikon/AF-S-DX-NIKKOR-18-105mm-f-3.5-5.6G-ED-VR-mounted-on-Nikon-D300__440']THIS [/URL]dxomark site? There, you can select what lens on what body. Using the same lens on a D500 or D7500 (D7500 not listed but both use the same sensor & no AA filter) shows a raise in sharpness and overall performance. Even if you go with a D3400 will give better results. I dont know if their numbers tell you if the lens will produce tack sharp large group photos, but it does show an improvement over the D300. All Nikon DSLR cameras and F mount lenses have been passed up by the latest offerings from Nikon mirrorless cameras and lenses. That's not saying sharp images cant be obtained from F mount lenses on DSLR's, but the newer DSLR's and faster lenses will produce better images than older sensors and entry level lenses. Better yet, mirrorless. Z5/24-70f4, (buying used will save you hundreds) would be my suggestion around that price. [/QUOTE]
