This isn't actually why Nikon are recalling them, but it does seem very coincidental that there are so many failure and that the err message tends to lead to shutter failure. The actual reason for the recall is "shading occurring in some images", but I personally think that this is just the start of the shutter failure sequence.
I told Nikon I needed it back quickly as had an upcoming event before I sent it in. They marked it as urgent and it was turned around in under a week. Can't say the same will happen every time but worth ringing and speaking to someone.
Which of the two recalls is it affected by? (Note there are only two recalls, there have been extensions to the serial numbers affected rather than new problem recalls).
I've heard a few mention they have had the err code (the manual just says camera malfunction-release the shutter and consult Nikon if problem persists) and that their shutter did fail but I can't remember anyone mentioning experiencing or showing examples of the shutter causing shading of the image.
Me neither but this is what Nikon are claiming.
Mine is due to go back too after the latest recall extension but I have never seen any sign of a problem so I'm just using away at it and will get it sent in in December maybe. Using it far to much at the minute, shooting cyclocross this weekend and doing a Thomas Heaton workshop the following one.
I've not tried the new 70-200mm but the 24-70mm f2.8 always feels loose to me, and I asked the same question when I first got one of those (I've tried a few now and they're all the same). Maybe they've made the new 70-200mm the same. It was something that I never liked though.
Love the rendering on the first. It's the f1.4 your 85mm isn't it? (My memory sucks big timeFunny how you pick up on a couple of shots after the first picks a few days afterwards. And the reason I like these two is purely down to the rendition, I do love the 85 'look'. Really must get a 105 next year. When the little lady is the right age/size I'm going to hire the bokeh daddy for a few days, would love to have a play with the 200 f/2.
And we were talking about getting too close with wide apertures the other day. Here's a classic where the girls were messing around whilst I was loading the car. No time to perfect and the light had pretty much gone, but very slight differing axis and big sis is slightly out of the focus range at f/1.6. A bit of selective sharpening has just about salvaged it, just..

So nice mate, you really do have that processing cracked
There was a 105 for sale on one of the FB groups a couple of days ago for a grand. Tempting but I resisted - wasn’t sure on your garage accommodation

i was to indesisive over it and by the time i asked it was gone
Never noticed my batteries drain in the D750 when not in use, but probably not gone more than 2 weeks without using it.
I've had batteries sat in a drawer for months and still retain pretty much all their charge so if yours lose noticeable charge after your week trial it would obviously suggest a battery fault.
