I know I’m going to catch a lot of flack for this, but a lot of the photos that were recently posted on this thread, are not what I would call “ Super Sharp”
ps. I am one of those who pre-ordered this lens and spent a lot of time shooting with a Canon 600 mkII and a few 500’s V1’s

Al,
I'd like to know if the deer pics that I posted appear sharp to you? It is really tough to stay within FM's resolution parameters and display a "sharp" image. I get the benefit of looking at my pictures on my monitor at full resolution and I get to pixel peep. The Piebald deer are sharp at the point of focus. Of course the tight portrait is showing super narrow depth of field, but look at the skin around the eye... that shot was barely cropped (lopped a bit of the right for the sake of a good composition). The second piebald deer seems super tack to me on the eye and head... I can see insects between hairs on the little guy. As for the buck... well look at the shutter speeds... despite the hint of movement, the eyes are both super sharp and these were taken at about 33 meters @ ISO 3200. I applied nik DeNoise because ISO 3200 is not very pretty on the D500.
Finally... how is it that my doe is not sharp to you... or maybe it is.
I'd love the feedback.
I will tell you that I am getting sharper images out this lens than I have with my 300mm PF and 200-400VR. I have shot this subject and the one I shot today with both of my other lenses, and this one just beats all of my other optics.
