Yes, Mark- I have 3 of them on vinyl.
(There may have been more than three.)

The other thing that drove me crazy about this lens was the severe barrel distortion
(at wide angle settings) or severe pincushion distortion (at telephoto settings).

I've used this lens to take hundreds of photos of sunrises over the Atlantic ocean.
I make the assumption that the horizon should be straight (not curved inwards or outwards).
I would have to make corrections in Photoshop to fix this problem on every single photo.
3% or 4% or sometimes even 6% adjustment was needed on every photo.

I enjoyed the record of Joe with Ella Fitzgerald-
just the two of them, no band.

As the dxomark test results showed- as long as you don't go past f 8 it is fine!
No argument there.
For me, I got tired of trying to remember not to use it past f 8
so it sits on the shelf.

One of my favourite guitarists.
I have many vinyl records and cds by him.

I also like it. Can you explain how you did it?

I know it is an unfair comparison,
but here is the dxomark sharpness test on the Sigma 85 mm lens.
Compare that to the Nikon 18-140 (or just about any zoom lens)
and you realize the compromises that have been made
for the sake of convenience and affordability
(both of which are important).

Here is the dxomark sharpness test of this lens mounted on a D7100.
As you can see it yields poor quality once you go past f 8.
That was my experience in using the lens for about 2 years.

The main point is that a score of 10 or 11 is NOT a good score!
A score of 40 or 50 is a good score!

As others have mentioned, it is impossible to do justice to both PEI and Nova Scotia in one week.
As a photographer, you could spend a week in PEI and then three (or more) weeks in Nova Scotia.
I suggest "doing" one area well instead of trying to cover a lot of ground and just skimming the surface.

Dxomark has tested this lens. It performs best on a D500. (You can enter what camera body you have and see how it performed on that body. I have a D7100 and it tests not as well.)
Here is the test on sharpness from dxomark (when mounted on a D500).
I own the lens, but no longer use it because it is mediocre at best.

I hope they keep that snake very well fed, otherwise the baby could end up being his lunch!
