I used a heavyweight mat finish photo paper. I then when to office depot and bought some foam core board that has adhesive on one side already and plastered the print on the foam core.  The target has lasted me for a long time now and making sure that it does not curl should help in tuning your lenses. Also the mat paper will not give any reflections back on the camera to screw up the testing either. If you have any super zooms like the 18-300 I would advise testing it at wide, middle and long and then averaging the numbers for the final setting in the camera.  I really wish Nikon would let us fine tune for wide and tele on the same lens.  would work so much better. Opinions expressed are mine and not necessarily worth the time to read them.  [/FONT]<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />[FONT=Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]    [/FONT]</blockquote>
