Hi Marianne, What a terrible experience with Nikon Service. I can understand why you've put Nikon on your black list for future purchases. Properly functioning equipment relies on the proper...

Looks like we have to become a little bit harsher by concluding that you absolutely miss the point of the OP.  On the left side of the image the DoF is pretty large, on the right side of the image...

Lenses do not behave linearly, so you can't interpolate the behaviour of a lens @85mm when knowing how it behaves at both ends. .  To what extend does it happen, do you have test material to share?

This is one of the most silliest statements I've ever heard... Can you please explain where exactly page 100 implies you need to change the focus distance to the target? You have no evidence or...

My bet is a Leica: http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/MSNBC/Components/Slideshows/_production/ss-110429-Ann-Curry/Curry-camera-2008.jpg

If you compare the RX1R and the D800, you can see that the light is not consistent. The light on the pallets is different, not showing the metal texture of the pallet for the RX1R. You can see also...

Page 100 shows pictures of apartment windows or a tiger behind bars. Can you please explain how the target relates to these examples?

Nikon themselves tell me that my tests are good enough to provide that evidence. What more do you reasonably need?  You keep on repeating this nonsense. You are the one who makes claims about AF...

I see a lot of comparisons on high ISO, but what triggers me at low ISO values is that there already quite some grain in the blue channel and some in the green channel of the GX-7 compared to others:

Which I think is even an advantage with higher resolutions being a trend.

Did you ever consider to apply for a job as a North Korean governmental spokesman to explain the world their country is based on a democratic foundation? I think you would be very good at that! :-)

I do miss some ingredients in the new test setup, that I appreciated so much in the old one:
- The small world globe (showing plastic texture and resolution)
- The batteries (same + contrast and...

You didn't, you wrote: From this I read that any 24-70, especially a Sigma, will never be comparable to a prime. It may not have been what you intend to say, but I (and I guess many others)...

Correct, this is one of the best lenses in Nikon's catalogue.  Well, this is incorrect for multiple reasons. It seems that Sigma is on its way back, and is currently making lenses that have a...

The central target point is ALWAYS aligned to the central AF sensor in this setup, so that means it is OK.  So what?  It can be aligned towards all angles, so for different lenses used at...

I have a picture from the same setup, and I also see some deviations between left and right. See the results at 24mm and 14mm for my lens. In practice, I have no issues with it. There may be...

Leonard is known for not understanding what page 100 means in practical cases. He puts disclaimers in his language with the words "can" and "if". Luckily, Nikon's support chain has more common...

The only thing that is not accurate your understanding of autofocus, page 100, and how it applies to real-world targets. The targets are sufficiently good for a right focus point. The targets are...

There are medicines for that :-D If a manufacturer is able to create proper functioning central focus and righ-point focus, what exactly is missing to obtain correctly functioning left focus...

The combination of the following 2 sentences is a nice way of telling that you belong to the 90-95% of people not using the camera to its full potential :-) How about dynamic range? Before the...
