Garbage. Out of 95 shots, 4 were corrupted.

Yup, this is what I got. Invalid Image

And the hits just keep on coming.

Hmm.

Oh well.

These were written to a SanDisk SDXC ll, 280mb/s, 64 gb.

Ahh, that sucks. I was thinking of getting one, but now I think I will stick to my 45MB/s...

Look at the people in the car, they look like mush. Yes I know it is at 2.8,

I am getting very discouraged. I have had trouble with my 500mm, looking like mush, I went thru the auto fine tune, and lens align and think it is close,

To me it seem front focused, the grass is definitely shaper way in front of the car than in the car area.

but the images look mushy, and lack detail. I have been determined to make this camera work for me, but I am thinking I got the one bad copy that slipped thru. The images above were shot with a 17~55mm nikon 2.8 lens, which works beautifully on my D100, D2x, D300, D3s, D800e. (sold the D2x, have the rest) I am not this bad of a photographer!

Have you got any other lenses you can try? (I have seen your list so consider this as a rhetorical question

I am getting stunning sharpness from Sigma A's, Nikon 70-200/4 and 85/1,8G. I have to handle Sigma A50/1,4 in mittens because last time I got a nasty skin cut from it...

Try to eliminate the lens variable. Yes, you claim it works great even on D800e, but... but...

And try to do a similar shot like this, in similar conditions, from a tripod pefectly focused manually in LV on the face after zooming the display in to rule out AF issue as well.

I am very, very easily amused.
