Yes,....there I was , feeling miserable, toying with the D3X and 14 - 24 mounted, zooming...auto - focusing....it went..tzzz...tzzzz....tzzz..tshluck...I looked at the monitor in bewilderment...loaded up to capture NX-D....went outside..checked infinity..played with auto-focus adjustments in D3S..D3X.....set at the minus -5 setting , and sharpness is only rivalled by my PC-Nikkors..( PC-E 24 f3.5...PC 28 f 3.5...PC 35 f2.8 ) anyone who knows those lenses understands what a tall order it would be to rival those in terms of anything..

..and even the Zoom ring is moving a bit better now..

I had already started to put aside the first of many pennies to aquire an IRIX Blackstone 15 f2.4...only to read several blogs where they " dish " the thing completely ( QC issues ? )..glad I do not need to step over to that camp anymore..

To say that I am a Happy Camper would be an Understatement , and my faith in Nikkors has been Restored..What a FANTASTIC Optic this is !!

Thank You All for lending me a willing ear, it feels good to know that one does Not stand alone in the Dreary world of Dysfunctional optics.
