[QUOTE="r00ster, post: 575985, member: 42611"] I tried my level to provide my equipment info on my "edit profile" page. Only part(s) would stay copied. After 4-5 attempts of hitting "Save Changes", I gave up. [U]BODY [/U] Nikon D3200 [U]LENSES[/U] Nikon DX AF-S NIKKOR 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G VR Nikon DX AF-S NIKKOR 55-200mm 1:4-5.6 G ED VR Nikon N AF-S MICRO NIKKOR 105mm 1:28G ED VR I provided 2 examples on imgur. Perhaps I'm overcritical, or just had unrealistic expectations. It was set on "Auto". I'll take the advice of some posters to try Manual Mode. Prop/Details shows : f 5.6 @ 1\250 ISO 400. In my experience, there was plenty of light, no wind and a tripod was used. I have 26 other pics taken with this lens. I haven't got one that compares favorably with my 18-55mm just by blowing it up. Thanks for the reply. In my humble defence, lots of googling today indicates I'm far from alone in my frustration with that lens' Auto- Focus capabilities. Bearing in mind, [I]"A poor workman blames his tools."[/I] your lens is at least a couple of years older than mine and those of many of the whiners I'm seeing online. I'm wondering if there mayn't be a production/quality control issue. [/QUOTE]
