[QUOTE="voxmagna, post: 543733, member: 38477"] I found something similar happening last week when I shot flower petals with the 85mm lens. Everything confirmed the focus point live and in post, but the image was soft to me. I'm wondering if the AF although appearing to confirm locked, isn't on the focus point when you have flat areas without detail? That zoo animal with fur will be hard to AF and at (say) 30 feet and you only have just over six inches DOF. I'm going to start using manual focus a little more - what you see should be what you get. I've already put a DOF calculator on my phone which has taught me a lot. My big gripe is the D750 does not show the focus distance until you extract it from the EXIF in post.:mad: [/QUOTE]
