[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 737650, member: 9240"] Don't get mixed up here - no body information is saved to the lens. You are simply calibrating it's internal focusing mechanism at 4 different distances (for primes) and at 4 different focal lengths (for zooms). This is done using a camera body but it doesn't care what body you use because it's the lens' AF that's being calibrated. The body goes along for the ride, so it makes sense you do it with the body you're going to put it on. You may see little difference between a pair of D500's, or you may find that it works fine for close focus but introduces softness at distance, and vice versa. In this case you might actually be able to use Nikon's single point calibration on the second body to adapt and not have to worry about it. [/QUOTE]
