[QUOTE="Grandalf, post: 354623, member: 31436"] Hi, "Perverse and foolish, oft I strayed..." but I've just returned to SLR photography and bought myself a D5200 which I'm really impressed with - even though I'm still getting familiar with it. I was interested in Wayne's comments about using the zoom button with manual focusing as this is also mentioned in the September issue of "N Photo" magazine. I tried this today by setting up the camera on a tripod, zooming in to the top end of my lens (105mm), then using the zoom in button to its maximum and using manual focus. I found that I couldn't get the focus pin sharp. Is this normal with the amount of magnification the zoom in button gives you, or have I got a problem with the lens? (Also tried auto focus, but still a bit blurred) Looks a good forum. I look forward to reading more! Thanks Pete [/QUOTE]
