I have the older version, and I was just thinking yesterday that I haven't had a chance to use it on my D800.  So I got it out and went looking in my front yard for something to shoot. This was...

I have the AIS version of this lens.  On the D7000 it rocks! This is at f/1.4...

There is only one file for the update.  Should be "D800_0102.bin" for the D800.

To everyone who has offered help. As I posted last night, with the file on the CF card and a fresh battery in, all went well. Thank you

All is well.  Need to go shooting tomorrow to see if has made any improvement.  I'm encouraged by all the positive feedback.
