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.

Good job.

I am wondering if VR really stands for 'variable results'?

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.

The original shot was AF and I used the magnifier and MF on the follow up shots and a tripod. The first follow up shot was with the VR and it was lacking sharpness even at 1/750 sec. For now I'll not be using VR except in low light situations where it has proven to be useful. This will also extend my battery life somewhat.

I will be doing some tests on the UV filter etc. time and weather permitting, We had our first snowfall yesterday;~)

If you have a high quality UV filter and it is clean then I dont expect it to effect the IQ by very much. The VR is probably the most likely problem but every little counts if you want a sharp image.
