[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 766282, member: 46724"] Not having anything else to compare it to, I am happy with the results I get. When I got it, I didn't think it was sharp. After calibrating the lens through the dock, I do think its sharp. It's quite involved to dial it in though, running through all the distances at all the different focal lengths takes a considerable amount of time. The time invested was worth it to me. The only bummer I can think of is now that the lens is adjusted to preform on my D7500, its soft when on my Z6 using the FTZ adapter. A workaround would be to calibrate through the dock for both bodies and record the figures in the app. Then I would have to go through the app to adjust the figures to the body I want to use it on. So it has been dedicated to be used exclusively on the D7500 because that's too much effort and I really dont have a good reason to use that lens on the Z6 anyways. How do I rate it at the 600 end? Better than any of my other lenses at 600, LOL! (It's my only lens that goes past 300) But I cant crop any of my other lenses to be as sharp as what I can get with the 150-600 at 600, which is equal to 900 since I use it on the crop sensor. I would go and get this same lens if this one got dumped in the drink, I am that happy with it. [/QUOTE]
