What lens were you using before the 16-85?  Did that focus correctly?  Have you still got it?  See if it still focuses correctly.   Will help narrow down between body or lens.  Do you hae a friend...

Thanks for sharing.    I live about 15 miles from Shuttleworth and visit a couple of times most years.  i also enjoy the Birds of Prey Centre on site.

Hey no probs - worked in IT since 1972 and believe in going back to square one from time to time.

Fairly hard to fit wrong way round but I have double checked  - the leading edge is chamfered down and the front right contacts align as do the rear left and right.  Do Canon have different pin...

It's me who needs to thank you David.    But I now NEED a D800, a set of FX big glass lenses, a faster pc, a bigger monitor and (possibly) a new wife.

Personal experience reports are always good.I've used them 3 times and never had a problem.

I was just impressed that I spotted it while viewing on an 11inch screen netbook.

I'm a D3000 and D7000 owner not D800 but look at all sections on DPR.  Today I followed the link to your flickr Amazing Dolomites set and http://www.flickr.com/photos/ghetzu/7748205418/ rang a bell...
