Working fine here...

Well, we'll have to agree to disagree - I see no point on the tower that's actually in focus. I can sort of believe the van bottom left, maybe even the railing right at the front, but none of the ...

Although it might be mis-focussed, instead - the van in the bottom left hand corner looks quite a bit sharper than the tower,

Seriously? A little soft?

Thanks for that.... It would be good to find a use for this lens - it was a gift, bought just as I was moving away from enlarging, so it is pristine.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but the tower isn't just slightly out of focus, it looks like it's suffering from bad camera shake. Personally, I'd just discard it.

Good point - thanks...

Interesting - I have one of these, plus a Hoya lens that was also very good. Looks like a 39mm to Nikon F adaptor should work - is this correct?

If I go onto a Fuji forum and enter a long post extolling why I changed to Nikon and extolling Nikon's virtues in detail, then I'd very quickly and correctly be labelled as a troll. No difference here.

So, if Fuji are so wonderful, I really don't understand why you're trolling here.... I've used Nikon for over 40 years - they have consistently exceeded my expectations - but I don't feel the need ...

The OP didn't actually mention full functionality, just that they can be used. Pre-AI lenses would have to be converted, otherwise they'd damage later cameras. There are various restrictions about ...

I tried the raw processing in Elements and in PSP X9, but my impression was that View/Capture NX-D gave better results.

Agreed - another one to look at, if you don't get on with the Nikon software, is RawTherapee. Personally, I'm finding the Nikon software very comprehensive, allowing me to change virtually any ...

Like you, I've recently added a D810 to my  D200. The fact that you say that you're getting amazing results with a couple of your lenses implies that there's no fundamental problem, it's just that ...

On Nikons, usually using the switch on the left hand side of the lens opening when holding the camera.

Yes, that's very similar to mine. Quite blurred on the left hand side at larger apertures, then improving as the lens is stopped down. The left never quite matches the right, though.

I'm using D lenses with a D810 with no problems. I'd get the new body checked out.

Mine is very similar,  showing similar decentering and general softness at the edges. It improves by f8 / f11. Shame, really, as the range and 'macro' make it handy as an FX walk-around lens. It's ...

i) as far as I'm aware, you can't attach a mechanical release to a D200, so it's academic. ii) the wired release will work as quickly as anything else, as it's simply closing some contacts iii) ...

Strange how this is popular again - most of us threw our starburst filters away years ago :-)
