I have it at -7 for the best focus, but the question is how sharp should it be at 1.2? Can anyone post thier sharp shots at 1.2 and 2.8. I am having a hard time figuring out if it is normal or if it is misfocusing. I know it isn't going to be 85L sharp, but it seems a little off and since I have only been learing the in's and out's of this lens for about 2 weeks now I am not sure what normal is supposed to be.

I did but after searching through many many pages I wanted to see if someone has taken something that is measurable. Maybe like eyelashes or something similar and I wanted to see a 1.2 and 2.8 comparison. Nikon D850 l Nikon 28 1.4E l Nikon 50 1.8 g l Nikon 24-120 F4 l Tamron 100-400 l

I will play with it for a while and then decide if it needs to go to canon Nikon D850 l Nikon 28 1.4E l Nikon 50 1.8 g l Nikon 24-120 F4 l Tamron 100-400 l
