[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 787929, member: 48483"] The places that do the conversion services mention sort of up-front that they should tune the autofocus to a specific lens you plan to use, or they can do a general re-tune if you don't have a specific lens at that time. I understand this as being a hand-tuned thing rather than the focus-tuning on the camera menu of some cameras. When I bought this D600, it was body only from KEH.
