Thom Hogan says 20-30% of D800..

In reply to TOF guy, 3 months ago

TOF guy wrote:

A reliable source of info: Thom Hogan promised to let us know when the problem will be fixed out of the manufacturing line, and he did so a while ago.

Reports of newly bought D800 with faulty AF have become very rare (totally consistent with Thom's info). Not completely zero presumably because there may be a very few D800 made several months ago but sold only now.

....bodies MAY have the left AF issue, if I read him right. That was according to a study he did awhile back???

I read Thom everyday on his blog, and followed him when he was a regular contributor on this Forum....a long time ago. I have yet to read where Hogan says the issue is ...fixed. I have also yet to read where Nikon has admitted there was ever a problem with the D800?

The stock is down 18%....imagine that!
