It's fine. My old d7000 used to have all negative fine tuning values.

Thanks! As I said in the other post, great shots. Your flickr is filled with TONS of great images! I love how you added motion blur on the train BTW

Not a lot of people are a fan of these 58's. Some don't even last a week... https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1328912
That 85G kills it... o_O

Because everything is about sharpness and instant gratification these days. The 58 makes people work their ass off for both.

This is a special shot...

My wife went to visit her mother today at the cemetery... on her mother's birthday. She passed away a little over a year ago.

Sort of freaking out right now...

Went out this morning for a couples shoot. The 58 back focused on almost everything. Mine has always been bang on. I wonder if it being below freezing had any effect. Weird as hell.

Edit - I've never strobed with my 58 before; I wonder if that did it.

Were you using the red AF assist pattern projected by the SB flash? That is known to cause issues.

I was using the PW flex and mini, just the mini on the camera without a flash. Luckily it was just a series of pics and not the whole session. Oddly enough, the shots where it back focused by a mile, the flash/flex was no where remotely close. Literally about 150/200 yds away.

All I know is I'm loving my "film" look because I import into LR and don't do anything. The default settings I made does the trick.

Nice set Jason. I like the last one! It seems like it�s still pretty warm in PA. It was FREEZING today up here!

Oh, and I�m sloooowly but surely emerging from that film look. Film VSCO stuff only works on about 30% of my shots.

I have back focusing issues also when strobing with 85 1.4G and Sigma 35 1.4 Art. This only happens when I'm in Af-S mode. The second I put it on AF-C it gets much more accurate and almost no misses. I'm using YN622 with SB700.
