I tried 3 new D800 bodies in the past two weeks. Two from BH, one from adorama. All three have the left focus issue in some degree. Lenses tried include 24 1.4g, 35 1.8g, 50 1.8g, 85 1.8g. From 35mm and above, the problem is not as pronounced. The far left AF point gives me acceptable focus, slightly back focused compared with the center point, but still sharp. The right side AF points are all good. 24mm 1.4g shows the biggest problem, which was tested fine with my D7000 (no lens issue). Only 1 body (sn/3083xxx) showed OK result (not very mushy image...), though the bottom far left points back focused more and may not be usable for critical shots. The other 2 bodies (3076xxx, 3077xxx) got serious back focus for most of the left AF points.
My conclusion is Nikon definitely hasn't fixed the problem. The issue is covered if you don't use wide angle fast lens. I'll probably keep the better one though and stop trying. I probably won't get a better one even if try further......Show more →
thanks!
my 28mm behaves the same on D7100 also.
I get useless images using left focus points on both cameras during test & real life shooting.
I dont' have any other wide lens at this moment, so no more testing..
I guess I will be careful when using wide angle instead of trying out more bodies... this sucks a bit..
