[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 65678, member: 9521"] I didn't think it did, all my shots came out razor sharp. But one afternoon I was bored and I decided to do the experiment properly with a tripod and have the camera hooked up to my computer via Camera Control. Sadly, my far left focus was soft compared to middle and far right. So yes, my camera suffers from it. In fact, it's beginning to look like nearly all D800/E's have this issue and may have arisen from a subtle misalignment in their final adjustment QC. It's good that Nikon has figured it out and is now fixing the camera's that are being sent in. It's unfortunate that the shipping costs to either El Segundo or Melville are on our own dime. I'm working with my local dealer and hoping the Nikon rep will pick this one up in the same manner he did with my D7000. El Segundo is not very far from me, too far to drive but cost of mailing w/ insurance isn't nearly as much as it would be for others. If the dealer/rep won't pick up the tab I think I'll go ahead and send her in myself. I'm not looking forward to the downtime but I do have my trusty D7000 to pick up the slack. [/QUOTE]
