21 October
Now I don't know what the hell is going on -- is there something wrong with the body? the lens? me? My wife is of the opinion that it is the last, which may be true. After having a real struggle getting good images yesterday, today I popped off a bunch of them. Conditions were essentially the same and I had made no changes to settings, but my kit seemed to react completely differently. Though there were a few can't focus glitches, it was nothing like yesterday and the point of focus seemed to be were I thought it would be.
Maybe I'm just expecting too much, but it sure is making me crazy. At any rate, the Tam is going back again today; no word yet on the body issues from Nikon.
