[QUOTE="CAM1, post: 93531, member: 11499"] I have a D3100 and D7000 that I appear to be having focus issues with both, and need guidance or opinions on what action I should take. Here are the details...I have two kit lenses - 18-55mm and a 55-200mm; and two (what I call) specialty lenses a 10-24mm wide angle and an 85mm macro. Using a tripod or stationary device and a remote shutter release - I have yet to get a "tack sharp" image. Almost 98% of the shots I take require some sharpening using Aperture or other computer software to attain. To me this seems unreasonable for 1K+ camera as I get about the same amount of out of focus with both bodies and all lenses. I normally have to adjust the "radius" setting under sharpening by about 40% to get the tack sharpness I expect. My question is...am I expecting to much from what I have and this amount of sharpening is normal; or should I consider returning the bodies to Nikon for adjustment/repair. I am also concerned that if I bother to send these in that they will come back indicating they are within normal range for focus...or even make them worse.
