The way it's focussing is definitely not how it's supposed to, as I borrowed the camera back in 2012 to photography a cycling event and the focus was very quick. autofocus is set to focus not release. I do shoot in RAW and I don't use ViewNX2, the computer I'm currently using struggles to process the photos in Lightroom so I fear adding any more programs at the moment. I will definitely take a look at ViewNX2 once I get my computer soon! I manually select the focus point, I have tried using 3D Tracking and Dynmaic area AF, it really doesn't make much difference. I'll definitely give ViewNX2 a blast when I can though as it will be interesting to see if it is focussing where I select it to. That doesn't surprise me in the slighest, I'm going to give Fixation an email later to see if they could give me an idea of what I'd be paying.

My friend came over yesterday and I tested the camera out with his Macro lens and it was having the same issue only worse than with the 35mm 1.8 I'll be posting some photos very shortly! I'm going to look into getting it serviced in the very near future when funds allow, using my friends D7100 yesterday I realised how off the focus is, far from normal! I tried the full reset numerous times and the micro focus adjust makes little difference, it has little problem when on AF-A so for now I'll stick with that.

Hey everyone, I've been away from photography for some time now, the last time I actually went out shooting was May 2012, now i'm back and raring to go! I am in need of some help though and I know the community here is rich in information so hopefully someone can help me.. Back in 2011 I used to own a D60, due to personal circumstances I had to part with it and I regretted the decision ever since, my friend just upgraded to the D7100 and has given me his old gear, A D7000, 35mm 1.8 and a few other bits and bobs. He did tell me the focus isn't right and I was alright with that, I will get it sorted, which is why I'm back! The issue is the camera doesn't focus right, when I borrowed the camera back in 2012 to shoot the Halfords Tour Series I used the 18-105mm lens he had and the focus was always spot on and sharp to the point. He said he put the camera down a little too hard and since then the focus hasn't been right since. The only way I can describe the problem is the camera attempts to focus, then struggles to find something to focus on, defocuses and re-focuses and finds the point, but it's never focussing on the area I want, always a little further back. Being new to prime lenses I'm not sure if this is normal, my instincts say it's not as I know prime lenses are known to be sharper and quicker, but I know the focussing issue isn't right. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be and what the damage might be cost wise to remedy it? The camera isn't covered by the warranty no more. Many thanks and I look forward to posting some of my work in the very near future! Ben

I was on the old site but seeing as it's moved I've re-registered. My old name was Benji I did try to log on the other day and was baffled to as why I couldn't access the site. I thought it had been shut down! Anyway! Happy to be back I shall post once I get a new camera! Benji/BSP
