[QUOTE="eliotlovell, post: 32292, member: 7861"] Hi - Recently got a D7000 with a 35mm f1.8 AF-S, and am noticing that I'm getting a lot - about 75% - of misfocussed shots when using the camera in low light - evening streetlight, for example. I have the camera in Single point AF and have tried using both the centre focal point + recompose and the closest focus point in this mode; even tho AF system says it's found focus, when I check on the display and on the computer later, it's focused behind the point I chose. I've tried with and without the AF assist light, and get the same thing. Very frustrating. This doesn't happen in daylight settings tho. So - is this a limit of the AF on the camera? Is the camera faulty? Is it the 35mm lens? Can't work it out. I have an 85mm AF-D too, so will be trying that later to see how it behaves in the same situation. Any advice / help much appreciated - thanks :-) [/QUOTE]
