You might see if the new Lightroom 5.6 update has the 18-300 lens profile and give it a try. The profile for my Sigma 18-250 corrects a lot of stuff very well.

Just checked, sure enough, the profile for the 18-300 Nikkor IS in LR 5.6.

Are you using a UV or skylight filter on the 300? An inexpensive filter can cause all sorts of trouble, in fact it is my belief that ANY filter will degrade performance of other wise good lenses in odd ways. I pulled all of my UV filters from my lenses recently and image quality improved dramatically for me across the board.
Thanks for the brainstorm. I use no filter at all, counting on the lens hood to protect the glass. Hasn't failed me yet.

Hi Wings, Thanks for the post. This is a great lens. I bought mine last year and have really enjoyed. This is the perfect travel lens.

Was the hawk taken at 300mm? Looks very sharp to me. I'm considering this vs the Tamron 16-300.
300 mm. I have two Tamron lenses that just sit in storage because of relatively soft images and slow focusing. This site may help you decide: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3675742 .
