[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 280913, member: 13076"] So Shootraw's thread on his 85 1.4G and wonderful images reminded me of the back focus issue I had with shooting at f1.4 with the D800. With the D800 I would always shoot at 2.8 to avoid that problem. So for example, if I shot someone's face, the focus would be on the far eye, not the near one. So, I just grabbed the 85 and put it on the new D4, opened it up to 1.4 and tried it on my wife. Perfect focus every time on the eye closest to the camera! :eek: Holy cow. It is great to see that, but I guess it is just the issue with the higher resolution sensors. It is so nice to have that complete freedom and make use of the full range of this still incredible lens.
