[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 634562, member: 13090"] [MENTION=41442]Federico-Nov[/MENTION] Based on your test-target photos it is clear to me the 35mm back-focuses slightly on your D3300; sort of... What I see is the focus is indeed sharp on the "bar" where the focus-point lies, so that's good. However, I can also see more is in-focus BEHIND the focus point than what is in-focus in FRONT of the focus point. If I were fine tuning the AF on this lens, I'd want to pull the focus forward so there's a more even split of depth of field in front of and in back of the focus point, meaning 50% of the depth of field in front of the focus point, 50% of the depth of field behind the focus point. Some people like a more 70-30 split, with 30% being in focus in front and 70% behind the focus point. This lens appears to have something on the order of a 90/10 split, with 90% of the depth of field behind the focus point and 10% of the depth of field dead-on and in front of the focus point. I'd like to see how this lens shoots at something like f/4, or thereabouts; it may be that it's simply not wise to shoot this lens wide-open on your D3300. On your D750 focus looks perfect to me.
