Stepped up to the full frame world beginning of the year buying a D750 and a couple lenses. Really like macro work so snagged a Nikon AF-S VR Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED lens and really LOVE this lens. Great clear and crisp shots. Also bought a Tamron 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD Lens for general use when not shooting macro. Haven't used the Tamron lens much but decided to start getting used to this. Have taken this out several times now and yesterday was a real eye opener. Bright Florida sunlight and nice steady subjects and thought I was snagging some great shots. When I got home I was extremely disappointed with how soft and often out of focus all the shots were. The Nikon 105 shots I can zoom in super close and have great clear focus, the Tamron didn't take a single shot that look crisp or sharp
Have read about some of these Tamron lenses having focus issues but usually with hunting. Have also read about doing some tweaking to the focus points but feel with a brand new lens I shouldn't have to do that.
Any suggestions or hints to get crisp shots with this lens?
Thanks in advance for your help.
