[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 203353, member: 8705"] I've not upgraded to 5.2 on my laptop yet and as I have a workaround I won't invest too much time trying to fix it. My setup is a 3m USB extension to the 2m lead I gave the link to. The two leads cost a total of about £6 from Amazon and work. They work fine in USB 2 and 3 sockets to transfer data and tether the camera except for my lightroom issue which is not D800 specific. I might try 5.2 tomorrow and see if it's any better but I don't think it's mentioned in the release notes. I'm using my setup for exactly the same purpose and have a studio shoot myself on Saturday. On that subject, do you calibrate your monitor because the difference is so big it makes the preview a waste of time in my experience. My previously uncalibrated monitor made highlights look blown which is frustrating when everything is metered. And on that subject I find TTL very disappointing as the results vary too much. When I meter I can setup up and wander around if the subject stays in the same place as their light is constant. I don't know which method you plan to use. [/QUOTE]
