Of all the long zoomed that I have personally used, the Nikon 200-500 was the sharpest in the field. Where it counts. Test scores are meaningless in the field. I only care about REAL WORLD results. The results that put money in my wallet. No test scores have even given me any money in my wallet.

Totally agree with you billnikon! Real World results is ALL that matters and as we all know but sometimes forget or refuse to acknowledge is that it is 20% equipment and 80% of the dude pressing the shutter button!

What professional company did you use to have your Nikon lenses calibrated?
