[QUOTE="VictoriaGrayPhoto, post: 624561, member: 23718"] I have been more willing to think I suck at photography, but honestly I just can't go there anymore. I've had other people use my camera with the same results. Here's the details: I have calibrated my camera with a number of lenses with not great change. I have sent the camera into Nikon already once. I have sent in Sigma lenses with my camera to be adjusted/calibrated. I have used the tripod, multiple lenses, multiple shutter speeds, multiple apertures, and multiple focal choices. I have "crosshairs" right on the eye and camera giving me the "green light." Close ups are generally better. I always shoot RAW + JPEG. I don't center the focus point - I move it to be over the eye. BUT: Since I have owned this camera, I cannot... CANNOT get it to focus from a distance (in other words- full body shots are pathetic and embarrassing). I am so DONE with this camera and so done with Nikon and I just simply don't know what to do at this point. I am seriously ready to send this piece of crap back to Nikon in pieces. I have been wondering how I could go from a decent photographer to a crappy one by just purchasing this camera and I have questioned my abilities to the point of just quitting altogether. Does anyone have any ideas? I mean I have tried EVERYTHING and nothing seems to work. Do I just have a lemon? Should I never shoot NIkon again? Pulling my hair out here! Thaniks. [/QUOTE]
