mysh: Those were shot in full sun, I had the ISO turned down to 50, for the troubling shots (1/60-1/180), it was f11 to f9.5, so I don\'t think it\'s diffraction.
VinnieJ: I didn\'t specifically listen for the VR to go active on every shot. OTOH, it has been activating 100% of the time in general shooting, so I am pretty sure the VR was working for these shots. I rolled on the shutter slowly so the D800 could AF, noticed the viewfinder image stabilize, and then the shutter released. The more I think as I type, I\'m sure the VR (normal mode) was running in every shot I posted.
General comment. These are 1:1 crops on a D800, for pretty much all of the uses of images from this camera, the slight loss of sharpness is not going to be noticed. Particularly if sharpening is added. So, it\'s not a big deal to me. But, I will keep an eye out, and if Nikon offers some resolution to this issues, I\'ll go for it.
Still loving\' this lens a lot.
Which firmware are you running with your D800?
