My 80-400mm lens is going off to Nikon's repair center tomorrow. Even with a stationary subject the point of focus will jump when the shutter is released and move the point of focus enough that the subject is no longer in focus. With a series of 7 images taken in succession the first had the point of focus jump up, second shot was dead on, third show was to the right, fifth shot was too the left, sixth shot was too the left, seventh shot was on target, eight shot had the point of focus shift to the right.
I could see the focus point indicator jump in the viewfinder and after reviewing the pictures I was clear that the point of focus really did jump with the shutter activation.
This is peculiar to this lens. I have never had the problem with any other lens I have owned including the first generation 80-400mm VR lens. I hope Nikon can fix the problem or I will have a very expensive door stop.
