Six? What business are you in? (No hidden agendas, I'm just curious.)
Thanks, Mark
Just an amatuer. I dont have 6 at the same time.
I bought a few, returned 2, sold 3 and still have 1 D800e.
Its mostly for personal use. But I have not found the D800(e) focus wanting in anyway aside from the side points..

You must have an exceptionally terrible D800. I've had 6 so far. None have had poor AF. The left points might have been off to a certain extent and the right ones. But the AF in general was without fault
Beautiful work as usual. I have a D800, 300 f/4 and a virgin BushHawk. Would like to see how you tricked out your BushHawk for hand held, with 6 (+/-) lbs weight. thanks
I wish I can say that about my D800. I get about 20% keepers on a lucky day. I keep dreaming the day Nikon will finally be able to fix my D800. I can't wait.
Thanks. Maybe play around with your settings...my buddy has the left AF issue and just uses the 9 with >90% in focus.
These are tools, there are workarounds to "get the shot". I've yet to shoot a perfect camera body. Just sayin'

TM, that last one made me I love the third bird just watching.
I suspect that you could get these results with pretty much any D800 on the planet. Something must be wrong with you.
Thanks a lot, Dylan....my wife would agree with you.

Really nice. I have a very new D800 and so far so good. I hope to put it through its paces this weekend.
Thanks! If at first you don't succeed...change up your settings and fill another card.
Came back from BdA with SO many keepers...just sayin' 
I love the third bird just watching.

Thanks, Jim! FWIW, I still have it and might have to post a few "uncropped" (of course) for my Canon friends.
