Nikon D750 & D780

Lol sorry for the confusion. No, all the right hand cluster are still back focussing when the rest are fine. What I meant by the statement above was that the squares I see on the focus screen do actually correlate to the position of the AF sensors on the module. I got the impression from the other member that on his Canon the squares on the focus screen didn't actually match where they were on the sensor and so he had to correct for this, probably by putting the subject just outside the box rather than in it. Does this make any more sense? :confused:o_O:p

Ah I get it. I'd send it back and kick up a fuss until it get sorted.

Definitely mate. They're good shots to get. Got a few more aswell.

Found that the D750 and 70-200 kept focusing on the spray though in AF-C so there's plenty of duffers. He doesn't stand still so it was asking a lot of it i guess.
 
Nikon have been in touch and want the camera back in to investigate. Not much more they can do/say at this point I guess so is going in Thursday as I'm hoping to use it tomorrow. Just need to avoid using the right hand cluster of AF points :rolleyes:
 
A few weeks back I spent a couple of days on Skomer. The weather wasn't great but it did make for some rough seas, it was a shame the wind was shaking the tripod and meant long exposure images weren't 100% sharp. I tried again the next day when the wind had dropped but the sea was calm and uninteresting.

My D750 en route from Panamoz.

I have the Sigma 70-200 non OS model and know there was talk earlier about the compatability between Nikon/Sigma lenses.

Anyone know if this was an older problem which newer D750's dont have?

If not has anyone any first hand experience with this lens? I have read through google about problems with the OS version. I am preparing myself for having to spend on the Nikon version, and probably not the VR version, cant justify the price for that.

Cheers

Not the 70-200 but I had a sigma 150-500 OS 3 years old when I got my D750 in March past and it was just the OS that wouldn't work. The focus was grand. You might be OK as yours is the non OS model.

There isn't a non VR model Nikon 70-200 so you better prepare yourself some more.

:LOL:

Saw one refurbished at Calumet for under £3k. My dream lens too, but not sure how much I'd use it though.

:D, i have only ever been there once, the few i have posted are all from the same morning. We were staying up there for 4 nights the weekend before last and this was the only morning it wasn't grey/ raining. And i saw no nice sunsets over the 4 nights, went out all 4 evenings and came back soaked twice:mad:

I've not used ate D750 for a couple of months because I purchased an Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II with 12-40mm Pro Lens.

I took the D750 to Oulton Park yesterday and Oh my the D750 is so much better than my micro 3/4 system.

It's my D750 that has prejudice towards sigma lenses. I did buy the 70-200mm Sigma OS and yes my D750 was prejudice towards this too. Nice lens though, renders nicely. Ended up going back though as couldn't correct the front focus (the issue I've has with all Sigmas on my D750) and this lens would sometimes stop focussing when I stopped it down from f2.8 to f4. If I turned off and back on again it would be fine. I took it back, bit the bullet and bought the Nikon VRII. I'm sure if it works on your D750 you'll be happy with it.

I did the same, the EM5-II is great but it's not in the same league as the D750. My EM5-II became a dust collector so sold all my Olly gear earlier this year (or was it last year? o_O)

Lovely shots BTW.

Took my D750 out for the first proper shoot since getting it back, the number of missed focus shots was ridiculously high when using the right hand focus points, but even more worrying was that the centre points missed quite a bit more than usual. With my 70-200mm hit rate for sports at 1/1000 is usually about 99%, tonight it completely missed quite a number of head on shots of cyclists at 1/1000, not the most difficult of shots to say the least. Fingers crossed they get it fixed this time.
