I went back to Elora and reshot the church from about the same position only this time I used a tripod, removed the UV filter used live view, manual focus with the magnifier and turned off the VR.

The result was better than expected. The f/3.5 24-120 is not a problem on the D600. 


Well that is good news.

So of all the things you changed from the original did you manage to work out if it was one or many items that were causing the lack of sharpness.

Was it:....

VR
UV filter
Manual focus
AF
Dodgy eyes.


I am tending to think that in most cases of focus problems it is me and my dodgy eyes.  What I do know is that at this point in time I have no cataracts but I do have astigmatism and myopia and unless I wear my contacts rather than my glasses I dont necessarily get sharpest focus all the time unless I use AF!
