[QUOTE="Vermontster, post: 21797, member: 5595"] I am having difficulties focusing at close range. In the view finder, the specimen is very sharp, but as you can see by the 3 blossom photos they are not sharp. I've tried tripods, very fast shutter speeds, different f stops, AF & Manual focus, different lenses, but it doesn't seem to matter. The shot of the beagle was taken just after the blossom shots and his features are in great focus. These shots were taken today using a Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED. Any of you D700 users have any suggestions? I'm sure it's something I'm doing because on rare occasions I get a smoking sharp photo.
