[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 32298, member: 654"] You stated your problem in your first sentence, "misfocussed shots when using the camera in low light - evening streetlight". The auto focus system depends on subject contrast for focus lock. Low light or evening street light is low contrast and the camera is looking for the best contrast to lock focus. Unfortunately in low light situations, if it finds a focus lock at all, it may not be your subject. It is one of the weaknesses of the auto focus system you have to learn to work with. The auto focus is through the lens focusing so it won't matter what lens you use the same difficulty with finding a focus lock in low light will exist. And welcome to the Nikonites Community. A great place to find answers to your questions. [/QUOTE]
