Shouldn't be missing focus like that (assuming it's nothing obvious like user error). That being said, my VRII missed focus more times yesterday than ever before, but the light was exceedingly poor yesterday first thing. Also, I've put theUV filter back on so not sure if that affected it. They were completely OOF, but focus was more on the ears for example than the eyes. Did you try another lens to see if the focus ring was 'loose' on that too?So used the 70-200 2.8e this weekend and Initial results were mixed. Its missed focus a number of times when tracking.
I'm not sure why, the F4 never missed focus when tracking. I am not talking about minor missed focus, the whole shot was just out of focus. The in focus shots were nice, clean and crisp but the end results were not any better than the F4 in daylight conditions.
Once the light was going the benefits of 2.8 became apparant as it allowed me to use a faster shutter speed at lower ISO numbers. However I then did some shooting at F4 and the high ISO performance of the D750 really did shine.
Again though, when I looked back at the pics on the PC, there were a few shots with nothing in focus at all.
I'm not sure because it being an E lens I need to update my D750 firmware, but don't think that was the issue.
I think I'm more frustrated not knowing how it happened lol
