[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 106663, member: 8705"] It seems others have experienced a similar learning curve. I must admit I took all of the "you need good technique" hype as BS put around by people trying to bring some mystique to their expensive new toy. I don't suffer from shaky hands and I know the parameters that will make a good / bad picture, I just don't always apply them 100%. Well in the case of the D800 I think the comments were largely true. I will say this only once, you will never see it in print again, I was at least partly in the wrong in all this :-) I think the 50 mm still has some questions to answer. If you go out and buy a D800, try it on a tripod first and make sure your focus has landed in the right place. If this results in good images the camera and lens is probably good to go, just make sure the tog is as well. [/QUOTE]
