with that many lenses having issues... i would start to think maybe the camera body may be at fault.

Sure it will be more pronounced on fast lenses, but it is not like there never been fast lenses. Besides, i had issues with 105VR, 20AF-D and 24 AF-D i got recently too.
And if you look at my post about year ago or so, where i wrote that i never needed to send to nikon anything...
I shot one roll on F100 with 20 frames with AF, the rest with MF. 85% AF shots (for stationary subjects to moderate moving subjects) were out of/ slightly out of focus. AF was set to AF-S, shutter speed higher than 1/125, and tripod/monopod were used too.

sadly no. not only it was in clean and calibration in december but there is bazilion of lenses which works fine with it. besides, they exhibit similar issues on D90 (which have no fine tune) and D3x which was quite precise from purchase.
Picked up mine tonight from the local Henry's. Walked around the store a bunch taking test shots of everything possible -- feeling pretty confident about it so far. More as it develops!
Hello, i'm new here, not very good english writer either.
I putted many hopes one this lens, the 35mm focal range is perfect for me, this will be my most used lens and also my first step for a serious investment in photography (business), along with the succesor of d700, now i have a nikon d90.
The canon 35L is a well known amazing lens and is my second option/sistem, what i dislike about it is the weather sealing, high vignette, and older design, the price here is 100E less than the nikon, not groundbreaking.
I have readed lenstip review, and it was a cold shower.
Yesterday i saw this comparison, and it's different stuff, 35L is a little bit sharper in center, but in the middle and corner falls behind.
they are both good lenses and difference between them in sharpness varies more copy to copy or user experience.
vignetting IS a feature, portraiture lenses are not microscopes or slide duplicators
Yes i like to add vignetting to my photos, my choice is more subjective, i like more about 35 f1.4 G that is new design and weather - dust sealed, and i'm a fanboy about nikon's superior 51 points af system of the prosumer body's.
on Nikon FX are 51 AF points good only for sport or maybe birds. For portraiture they are too much in center to be really useful. i would much more like to have 11 points but spread over whole frame or at least like D300 have

I believe they are like the D300 and that's the problem. The spread on the FX is the same, area wise, as the DX. I guess it has to do with accuracy when you try to extend them beyond the DX size. This issue has been the subject of it's own thread, maybe a tech-head can explain the reason. I hope Nikon would have moved them further out if it were possible.
