[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 78698, member: 9521"] Read up on the links I added to my reply. I'm not sure the current status of the D800, several members have received new copies but I've not heard whether or not they've tested theirs in these controlled experiments to see if there's an issue or not. I didn't think I had a problem to begin with and my focus was sharp as a razor but when I set it up exactly like Nasim describes I found my far left focus point was indeed off. I've not yet sent it in to Nikon but when I'm ready (at some point before my year's warranty is up) my local dealer has agreed to send it in for me. I'm just having way too much fun with my D800 and am not ready to be a week or two without her.
