Nikon D800 focus fine tune Voigtlander 58mm 1.4?


Sooo everyone knows D800 has back focus problem. Mine is no exception & I been able to work around with with focus fine tune feature on Nikon lenses. I recently bought a Voigtlander 58mm 1.4 for Nikon, it is very nice, but on the D800 back focus ruins a lot of my images. Focus dot says the subject is in focus, but when a picture taken, the back ground is in focus. I am trying to add the lens to the profile so I can fine tune it, but so far I can not.

Anyone successfully add this lens to Nikon D800?

Thanks in advance.

Why are the pictures taken with my DSLR unclear/blurry?


I bought myself a DSLR, a Nikon D3200 with the 18-55mm lens, and the pictures are not that clear?
They look fine when not zoomed in, but even zooming in a little bit it shows that they are not sharp (at 24.2mp they should be!), and it almost looks like the lens isn't powerful enough to focus it for the amount of pixels… Could this be the reason? Either way, I can see the pixels and the image is definitely no way near the sharpness of the pixels.

Here's a picture example, which looks fine:

But when you zoom in in the top right of the bridge, you can see that the picture is not that sharp or unfocused: Why are the pictures taken with my DSLR unclear blurry

I know it doesn't really look bad, but when the image is enlarged it is quite apparent.

Why does this do this? Is this the lens that cannot focus it sharply (what lens do you recommend then?), or what?

Here's the information about the camera settings when I took it (although it's like this for all images):

F-stop f/10
Exposure time 1/250 sec.
ISO 400
Focal length 55mm
Bit Depth 24
Format Compressed RAW (12-bit)

I am new to photography so anything would help!

Thanks!
Added (1). Also, I haven't done any "sharpening" to the image as it just makes it look worse. I've edited white balance, etc, but is looks the same before the edit.

How to know if my camera is brand new?


I bought a Nikon D610 from Amazon, it had smudge marks (hand prints) on the camera and all accessories were not in original packages, so I returned it for a replacement. The replacement came in, still has smudge marks but all the accessories are in original packages. I wonder if the smudge marks are by the inspectors or my camera was actually used.

Is there a way to find out?

Many thanks!

Nikon Af-s 50mm 1.8g vs 55-200mm vr?


Both are af-s lenses that will work with a dx camera.

Which one would be the best in:
•Image quality
•Fastest/Action
•Low light
•Distortion free

Thank you, please explain in SIMPLE terms.

NO I opted to NOT get a "Kit" lens so CANNOT set my "kit lens" to those things, and see which one I use the most.
