That\'s all very helpful. If you had bothered to read my post at all (and the link) then you would have seen that I have already said there was certainly nothing wrong with the first lens so you are not really ahead of the curve here.
The D800 is my first Nikon camera and I\'d asked for help here with the settings, as I have become more and more involved in bird photography over the past year, especially with focus points for BIF, all the settings above were from advice given on this forum ..... and if I remember correctly from you too in one of you posts about the settings you use in your bird photography (re. number of focus points).
Also as I mentioned the D600 functions perfectly with the same settings as those on the D800, would you care to explain then why the D800 fails where the D600 is spot on ? Or why all my lenses function fine in AF-C on the D600 but not the D800 ? Because I can\'t hence the reason I asked here.
