RIP :(
Helped a friend fine tune his lenses on his New Canon 5D Mk IV today. A really nice camera with some nice features. The main thing I did like was that you could tune the lenses at both the wide and tele end.

I did laugh at him all day because I had been hounding him for a year to fine tune his lenses on his Canon 5D Mk III. He has always stated that Canon lenses don't need it because they are perfect from the factory. He does have nice lenses. his cheap lenses cost more than I D750 and one lens, his 400 2.8 probably cost more than all my gear combined. Long story short is that after I finished his new body he wants me to tune his MkIII and MkII..

Love it when I am right.

Bet he goes round now telling every one the only reason my Canon is better than Nikon is because Done tuned my lenses :D or perhaps he wont.

To put this in perspective: For the cost of that one lens you could buy a brand new D750 (body, $1,500) and a brand new D500 (body, $2000) to complement it.

You could then outfit those two bodies with a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art ($850), a Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 ($1,300) and Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 D ED ($1,225). You could add a pair of Nikon SB-700's ($650 for the pair), some Yongnuo wireless triggers (say, $150), budget $1,200 for a nice tripod and ballhead, and you'd still have over $1,000 to spend on miscellaneous accessories.
