[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 819576, member: 50197"] Actually, the eye is sharp. For some reason a lot of grasshopper eyes don't look sharp, no matter the focus. And, I didn't use autofocus for any of my macro shots, this one included. Take that, you Youtube naysayers. ;) I downloaded, and installed the latest firmware yesterday. I do need to change to 1/2 stop increments for exposure. Those 1/3 stops are just too cumbersome in the field. Besides, IMO, you really don't need to parse that close with digital. Slide film, sure, but digital is more like hand grenades and horseshoes. Oh, I also downloaded and installed the NEF codec, and that seemed to speed up Photo Viewer. I'm beginning to wish I had upgraded to a gaming computer when I bought this one around Christmas time. It was fine for the 24 MP files.
