p.1 #1 · D300 Focus Test - Does this look right?

Hey all,

Being as its my first time trying this focus test (and I've no idea how this compared to others, since I don't have very many photog friends to walk me through this), does this look right to you?

I think I was having some focus issues from my last Ice Hockey game, since it seemed all the billboards were in focus, and the players were sort-of in focus. (Center weighted AF, and im pretty sure I got it right, especially on faceoffs/celebrations)

D300
70-200 F2.8

Thanks for the help!

I think your image speaks for itself. Looks in focus to me.

Center weighted AF? Do you mean center point, or are you talking about "C" on the autofocus selector... if its the latter, you've got continuous AF, not center.

Continous AF (on CSM selector), and 9 point Center Weighted AF selection, centered in viewfinder on the player's jersey.

"center-weighted " is for metering modes, not AF.

are you talking about Single Point AF / Dynamic AF 9, 21, 51, 51 w 3D / Auto ? The little switch between the CF card door switch and the multi-selector?
