[QUOTE="barkerxavierr, post: 833781, member: 61586"] Hey everyone, I’ve recently upgraded to the Z6III and have been pairing it with the Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4 for landscape photography. I’m noticing something odd and hoping someone here has seen the same. When shooting wide (especially between 14-18mm), I’m consistently getting soft corners and edges — even at f/8 to f/11, where I’d expect things to be nice and crisp. Center sharpness is fine, but the outer edges look smeared, almost like motion blur, even though I’m using a tripod and shutter speeds above 1/125s. I’ve double-checked that I have distortion control and vignette control enabled, and I even tried fine-tuning the AF, but it’s a wide-angle lens and mostly relies on DOF, so I’m not sure that’s helping. Could this be a lens calibration issue? Or does this combo just have known limitations? I’m wondering if anyone else has run into similar edge sharpness issues with this lens/body combo.
