I did a quick fine tuning out in the field for my 200-500 lens with my D810. No chart, just my car's license plate. I wound up with -7 with the naked lens and -10 with the 1.4TC. What has your experience been? What if any fine tuning for you.

It is spot-on with my D810 and requires -5 with 1.4x III TC. I rented a D7200 to try this week and it seems off but I haven't had a chance to dot-tune it yet, will report back later today with results.

At what focal length do you guys are fine tuning it to? Distance from subject?

I do 99% of my shooting at 500mm so that is the length I tune for. I usually tune for big distances for best results. ~1000ft+ works great for me.

500mm @50' wide open AF-S. It was dead on with my D810/D7200...-2 on the D800

I did it at 500mm, f5.6, at about 50 feet.
