at f2.8 you are just widening the depth of field putting the target within focus.The strange is it does it with 50 f/1.8g and 24-70 but is in perfect focus with 105vr and 70-200. All wide open

if the subject with left AF point is in focus at f2.8 and is blurry at f1.8 with the same lens, what does it tell you? thanks

Thank you David314 for this comment. Totally makes sense now

It was a motorcycle i used to have :(

Well, i updated the firmware and reset the camera. Now images look right. Not sure if it was my error all this time or not. Here is my setup.. D800 50mm f/1.8g Photogenic strobe with...

This is very strange but nothing changes if i drop the shutter speed to 1/25th from 1/200th

ISO 100. thank you

tonight i will try something different and see if its an issue between pocket wizards and the camera. I will optically trigger the strobe with a built-in flash in manual mode and see if i get the...

yes, D300s looks good and so does D3200

i will post two images tonight to show what i mean. BTW, i measured with two sekonic meters and both showed the same exposure

Im in Manual mode Bracketing off Exposure compensation off.shutter speed at 1/250, iso 100, f10, triggering photogenic strobe with soft box with pocket wizards - one on the strobe and another one...

Yes, bracketing is off and no compensation.

Im having an issue where my D800 underexposes every shot in the studio setup. I meter with sekonic meter and trigger my photogenic lights with pocket wizards. Histogram also shows a strong...
