I mistook the affected lens for the other one. And I agree an f/2.8 lens shouldn't have a focus issue unless the scene is pretty dark with low contrast. Thanks for catching my mistake!
If you are zoomed out on the long end towards 80mm, your aperture will be at f/5.6. Are you focusing on something with contrast? If not, the camera might not be able to secure focus.
Have you cleaned the lens' contacts?
Wow, that's an enormous sized card! Definitely a great price – thanks for the info, Eduard! I'm still using the Lexar Dual Slot Card Reader you shared several years ago for my SD cards.
In Topaz are you basing your sharpening and noise reduction solely on the humming bird? The background noise can easily be adjusted in Lightroom or Camera RAW by using an adjustment brush and painting over the background.
I don't think any EXIF will include shutter count. The image file number also doesn't represent the actual shutter count. Going into Live View counts as a shutter actuation even if you don't take any photos. I'm pretty sure the shutter count is stored in a camera's software, not in a photo's EXIF.

Glad you were able to resolve your issue. I was having AF problems with my Nikon 300mm f/4 PF and sent it out to Nikon repair. They couldn't find anything wrong and returned the lens. Eventually I used 99% Isopropyl Alcohol which is for technical use (higher concentration of alcohol than...
Two from this afternoon along the Delaware Canal (it's in Pennsylvania but runs parallel to the Delaware River). I couldn't quite get the white balance to match.
Ron, are you uploading a full size image? If it's cropped or had its resolution lowered, it doesn't always work on that website. Those were the only times I couldn't get a shutter count.
That's a great idea. Thanks for letting me know. I haven't been out much in the evening to work with golden hour images. It looks like one of my edits used the Daylight white balance but tweaked the Magenta slider a little. However, it was still a little dull so I did a second re-edit. That time...
I used a warmer white balance for this image than what it was straight out of camera. There already was some orange in the sky but chose to accentuate it a little more.
@nikonpup, just wanted to add that jdeg made an additional change at my request in reference to the banned accounts. Not all of them were being displayed as being banned so none of you were aware of the volume of banned accounts. Now they are more visible than they used to be.
