Oct 10, 2017 at 17:41 comment added Ed Dozier I would check your focus calibration (AF fine-tune). I own both lenses, and my 18-140 is quite sharp AFTER focus calibration. Unfortunately, you can only calibrate it at a single focal length and single distance. I have never owned a lens that couldn't be improved by proper focus calibration (even the 24-70).

Mar 18, 2017 at 7:07 comment added Michael C When buying entry level cameras, are lenses really more important than the body?
