Or is it the lens, could it be a setting in the camera?

Camera: Nikon D3, no outlandish settings in camera, so far as I know... Set to Auto ISO and in Aperture priority mode. Weather was fine with bright (for UK) sunshine.

Lens: Nikkor 24-120 f4 ED VR.

All images are unprocessed NEF's.

I spent yesterday at a car hillclimb at Harewood in Yorkshire with Christopher. This afternoon while processing the images in Lightroom I was astounded to seem some radically colourised images. I had been using the Nikkor 300 f2.8 and the Nikkor 80-200 on my D3, all was normal until I got to one batch which had been taken with the Nikkor 24-120 f4.

I have set the D3 to auto ISO and it has been pretty well set at that since I first used it. However It rarely seems to move from ISO 800, I would have expected it to drop much lower in bright conditions. It's set to to max out at ISO1600, minimum shutter speed 1/60 Sec.

These images are grossly over saturated with blacked out shadows, massive contrast and total lack of shadow detail. I haven't attempted to process this images until I have some understanding what's going on.

Any ideas please.
