Others have made suggestions. I would not expect the issue to be with the lens or body, but it's not impossible. Check your focus, shutter speed, aperture and ISO. The 300/4 PF is a superior lens, but it must be used properly. Practice, practice, practice. Adequate light is important to focus speed and accuracy. Best of luck.
Yeah, I'm re-reading parts of my Dave Bosch's D7200 manual and re-searching on YT. It's probably me. I just couldn't believe the "soft-focus" images I was seeing on my computer were made by a brand new, off-the-shelf, Nikkor lens. I am mentally paying more attention to how I physically execute the shot. Thanks.
