Nikon D7100 disappointment

[Tony_J]

Hi Tony

The focus was easily corrected by using a focus chard downloaded from the internet. One was for actual focus vs focal length and the other was to check forward/backward focusing issues, this requires a fair bit of faffing about but looking on Youtube there are plenty of instructional videos on how to make the necessary changes in the camera..

My main issue was both lenses needed adjustment in the camera, this was very noticeable with wide angle shots where the outer 2/3rds were blurred due to the focusng issues.After adjustments the results were exactly on the money compared to my previous camera.

Many thanks - I will give it a go on my D90.

good to hear you've got the issues sorted, did feel a tad guilty after praising the d7100.

I too will check the LR settings.

I don't think you were wrong at all praising the D7100, if anything it would be me thats ashamed for doubting such a capable and superb camera! I'm so pleased that everything is working and I can see that the D7100 is in a different league to my D3200 but the best part is I'm thoroughly excited about photography again.

Once again, you guys here really came to the rescue and gave me so much useful advice and tips where things could be going wrong and with extra input from Nikon I'm all sorted...

Mark as you say this is a brilliant forum and I'd also recommend, if you haven't already, signing up for Nikonians - there are some really expert people in there and a whole forum area devoted to your new camera. I've found it invaluable as a resource.

...except, of course, focus correction isn't a feature that is available on the D90   Oh well, just have to save up my pennies for a D7200...

I myself am trying to see if I should graduate from my D90. So many tempting upgrades, but with all my hobbies I always get caught up in gear before practice so I'm trying to be good and stick to it for another year or two.  :$

Strider and others

I went on the Nikon support site yesterday and stumbled upon the fact a new Lensprofile BIN file version 2.015 was there. Downloaded and installed. It may help your concerns Strider.
