[QUOTE="nickt, post: 625204, member: 4923"] Well, you could be having front or back focus issues. Give it a check. I'm betting more on technique though, it takes some time to get comfortable with this lens. It is probably slower to focus than your previous lens. I'm not sure I like dynamic mode for this. If your pics are still on the card, you can see the chosen focus point in camera, if not, use Nikon's software to see the focus point. I've been trying d9 focus just recently and not doing so good. I'm more comfortable with single point for now, still learning. Another thing to check is are you in release priority or focus priority. Since you are in continuous servo mode, having release priority set will allow you to snap away without ever achieving focus. Not unworkable, but something to be aware of. Also menu a3 affects behavior here. It adds a delay to the camera correcting focus. I can argue both ways whether this is a good or bad thing. If you have the dock, you can play with focus speed vs accuracy. I cant remember how mine is set, I need to hook it up and check. I mostly shoot this lens on my d7100 in manual. 1/1250, f8, auto iso. Single point continuous w/release priority using back button focus. [/QUOTE]
