A few D4 shots from Tanzania....

HI!

It seems that lately, this forum has been skewed toward D800 focus problems, where to find a D800, I got my D800, my D800 is really sharp, etc.

So a few pics from someone just using a camera...

I mostly kept the 500VR on the D4 and used the D3 as my second camera for other lenses.
