#2 and #4 look better to me than #1 and #3....did I guess right? Actually, #4 looks significantly better than #3 to me. But this could also be focus.

One thing you may want to post what your settings were (speed, aperture, ISO). One key is most lenses are pretty good at ~f/8. You may not see much of a difference. Where you will see more of a difference is wide open.

Also, lenses need to be match to the camera and congratulations, you have a camera body that can do it. Neuro wrote up the procedures here:

EDIT...ok...looks like I was off with #1
you guys have been great so far! thanks for the comments.

the scorecard was taken from a tripod, f/8, 1/15, 200
the other was taken from a tripod, f/8 1/16, 200

i shot at f/8 as that is what i normally shoot at when spotting aircraft, because as you said, most lenses are good at f/8

thanks for the link, will read into it!
