My focusing seems ok on mine brought second hand so no warranty should I face any problems but not found any yet. Not really a pixel peeper so doubt I will notice.
Still reckon the meike grip as good as anything !

Most of the time mine is fine so I'm assuming that when focus is off its me at fault!
Only issue Ive heard of is the dust on sensor issue? I have a D600 and D7000 and my D600 is no worse for dust than any other DSLR. If you look at the forums most DSLRs seem to have had some issue or another when released.Jez, there are supposed to be issues with the D600.

I do have a slight back focus issue with my 50mm f/1.8D but as the body is fine with the kit lens I know there is no fault there. A -12 adjustment seems to have sorted it nicely.

As a matter of interest what adjustment was required on the 50mm lens ?
Nikon have adjusted focusing on my D7K and updated my firmware way ahead of schedule - awaiting return now. Very efficient service.

Got three new lenses with it too: 35mm f/1.8, a 40mm f/2.8 Macro lens and a 16-85mm VR.
Looks like I've a little reading to do, this thread is enormous!
Cheers,

Persephone said:Jumping in here - I've just bought my new baby. Now I'm researching lenses and honestly, I don't know where to start! I want to photograph dogs and horses, and it would be nice to capture crisp, clean movement rather than a blur. A professional friend uses the Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 VR II but bloody hell, that's expensive! (She also uses a more expensive camera...) I've been piddling about with the D80 and a prime lens and it works well for portraits, but that's about all it's working for!
Do any of you folks have recommendations for a lens that will work well with the D7000 and take attractive shots of zoomy mongrels and bouncing horses in natural light? If it doesn't cost the earth, I'd be happy indeed - but I do know that you get what you pay for...
Actually, I'll take the query to a new thread.

That was a fast return Nikon UK

Gonna test my new d7000 tonight for any focus issues.
Try Q mode and slow to see how you get on theres a lot of talk of the mirror slap causing it and slower speeds and Q mode helps, not tried myself
