This tutorial shows you how to properly check your lenses to make sure you have a good or bad copy by making sure it focuses properly without any back-focusing or front-focusing. Some of the settings as shown in the video could guarantee you sharp results. Below are the direct links to download the Lens Sharpness Chart in PDF (Portable Document Format) and DOC (Microsoft Word Document). We created this chart after testing every Nikkor and Zeiss lenses (consumer grade and commercial grade) available today for the maximum sharpness performance at different focal lengths and apertures (tested on FX and DX digital SLR’s and film SLR’s). You can keep a copy for yourself and it is printable. Enjoy!

Technique whores:
Lenses = Sigma 10-20mm and Nikkor 50mm 1.4
1) Turn AE-Lock function on to stop the crappy banding and exposure changes throughout the image
2) Use a tripod with fluid-head (although these shots were made without, fluid-heads = real McCoy)
3) Try this http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/steadycam/
4) Roland Cadieux is probably the best d90 technician online at the moment http://www.vimeo.com/2104816
In this the second part of the Nikon D700 dslr review i look closely at its astonishing ISO performance and comapre it against the nikon d300 and then against itself in terms of how obvious it is on computer resolution. try and guess which photos were taken at iso12600 and which at 400iso
