p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Focus issue with Nikon 24-120 f/4


Rented the Nikon 24-120 as a potential replacement for the 24-70.
Shot a ceremony in a well-lit room a couple of days ago.
While I love the extended range, it seems to mis-focus more often than the 24-70.
The 24-120 is only one stop slower but I wouldn't think it would make that much of a difference.
Using a Nikon D800.
I have the lens until Thursday and will give it a workout until then.

Any comments, suggestions, focus modes to use?
Thanks!

Did you use AF Fine Tune to adjust the focus of the lens to your D800?

My 24-120mm focuses just fine. Were you using center focus, single point?

Maybe the rented copy is a tad beat up. I used mine at a reception where my shooting partner used a 24-70 and there was no discernible difference between our photos.

If it's like pretty much every piece of rental equipment I've ever seen, it's probably had a rough life. It's hard to come to any conclusions though without samples and EXIF data.
