What's the problem exactly?? These sample images are tack sharp! Much better than most of Nikon's midrange zooms.

Hi,

Have you noticed that the thread is four years old.....?  FWIW, I think my view is just the same as it was in 2018......  The central subjects are sharp enough, but the near elements in the corners - the nearer tiled building elements in the last few images - are significantly out of focus because there just isn't enough DOF.

Regards, Rod
