Hi Steve, I'm shooting on a D100 and have noticed exactly the same problem - the camera has been sent back to Nikon and checked, but Nikon say its working within acceptable limits.
I've upgraded all my lens to the latest Nikon offerings - and it hasn't made any difference - apart from with the Nikon 12-24 - which is pretty sharp all the way (not surprisingly given its such a wide angle and billed as a Digital lens). But with the telephoto lens (Nikon 70-200 f2.8 VR lens) the focus is often behind where I'm actually focussing when shooting on f2.8. I've given up trying, tbh, and now as a matter of course shoot on f4 when using the D100 (as opposed to my F100) - if I can get away with it. Its not very satisfactory, is it ? I've done focus tests using rulers and note the D100 consistently focussing 'behind' what I need to be in focus. And going over to manual doesn't help. In fact, I'd say its a fair to completely diss Nikons implementation of its auto focus system. I've shot over 35,000 frames with the D100 and find the focus issues the main reason for loosing shots ! Time after time it fails to deliver. Best wishes, And Good Luck ! >From David on 11/7/04 6:28 pm, Steve Shipman wrote: > I've sent the camera back to Nikon, but two > colleagues have had similarly unnerving experiences, one with a D1, and > one with D100. > -- You can view David's on-line folio at http://www.davidtownend.com/ =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
