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!

Perhaps go blindfolded and try taking pictures. You will amaze yourself. Redundant? Actually, no, that is what a blind person's life is like.

@Lilkiwiguy87 I get the message "Video Unavailable, The author of this video does not allow playback on iPad."
Part 2 of both Lens Sharpness and and Fine-Tune play, no problem. Part 1 does not play.
They will play on my macBook and PC, but not the iPad or iPhone
Wish I could attach the screen shot here.

Looks like we turned that option off by accident. It's back on, you may can start watching on your iPad now. :)
