[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 470703, member: 6277"] It was back focusing. In other words it was focusing behind more than in front. Another thing is that where it focuses depends on how far away you are from the target. With the 18-150 you should have it at the 105 mark and be about 17 feet from the target. 50 times the focal length. I recently set up a 40mm macro on my wife's D7000. I set the Fine Tune at the standard distances and all looked good but at macro it was not sharp. I then reset the fine tune as close as I could get it and the fine tune changed. So distance does matter. For most zooms it is best to set it at the far end and wide open since that is the most critical. [/QUOTE]
