[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 20840, member: 654"] These lens auto focus systems are driven by servo motors, in the lens or in the body, that are in turn driven by the focusing sensors. The system has to have some room on either side of the focus point for the focus sensor to determine the exact point of focus. If the lens had a dead stop at infinity the auto focus would keep bumping into the stop which would prevent it from working properly. The lenses are built with a little slack past infinity, as well as the closest focus point, so the auto focus servo can do it's job without bumping into a stop. Unfortunately digital photographs right out of the camera tend to be a little soft. It has to do with the way they have to manufacture the sensors. They almost always have to have some sharpening done in post processing. And welcome to the Nikonites Community. A very friendly place to get answers to your questions.
