Update on D800 AF issues

I had one from yesterday's batch and noticed that focusing was different between the outer points and the center - however, like you, I did not have any asymmetry.

I found that a lot of people were having to adjust their lenses (which they didn't before with large negative adjustments) - this seems to be quite common with the D800's and D4's

I compared live view and PD AF center point to determine whether it was front/back focusing. It was, I used adjustment for the lenses and got perfect focus - the PDAF is now as good as live view. My adjustments were:

• 50mm 1.4G --- -18

• 14-24mm 2.8G --- -7

• 24-120 f/4 G VR --- no adjustment necessary

As you can see, they are pretty large for the faster lenses.

Now, all AF points are fine and work perfectly
