Nikon Service Center says that

In reply to CaptainObvious, Apr 10, 2012

There is a report in which a user says that Nikon Service Center in my country replies that accurate focus correction in peripheral focus points is impossible, adding that it is technically difficult. If it is so I wonder why Nikon have made peripheral focus points in the first place when they are difficult to function accurately. Is it a marketing gimmick?

Decision, decision, we are the slaves of decisions we made inadvertently.

May God forgive us our imperfections!

Dust to dust, what on earth are we entitled to claim?
