loks like another D7000 problem has surfaced

only way to confirm is to bring it back to the shop and try with other units,or it may very well be the AF bug on the D7000, as its known to be not so compatible with 3rd party lenses......

Thanks. 1st time posting with picture.

so are u saying the tamron is the only lens u have?
looks more to me like the VC got terbalik, and instead of OFF its ON and vice versa

also for me, i wouldnt trust any VC / VR except for VR2 to really get the claimed 3-4 stops of reduction.

Nope, I have the 18-105 kit lens and 35 mm 1.8 lens. 18-105 no issue. The shop also said maybe they terbalik the VC switch...ha ha ha... Made in China what to do....

The AF issue is mainly for Live View. 3rd Party lens need to update their chip; This also applies to other newer bodies like D5100. If not wrong, new batch lens should have updated chip.

But there is another problem actually with 3rd party lens... it seems when using AF Assist Lamp, the focusing accuracy for 3rd party lens is not accurate, not sure this problem already been reported as seems no fix in new batch of lens which fixed the Live View AF issue. When using SB700 AF Assist it's worst...

If terbalik, then when you turn on VC, the VC should be working already; but seems you notice it working, so I guess it's not terbalik, haha

yeah i faced this problem with my sigma, my picture will turn to front focus when i turn on my SB900 af assist lamp, the af will focus on spot if i turn it off and it happen only with external flash, no problem with build in flash

maybe can turn off AF asist on the SB900, or is there a calibration on the camera that can compensate on the "overfocus" with the Sb900 AF assist?

i think this is related to ur problem. try reading the first part of his 1750 vc review. tamrons vc works abit strange IMO

That's true. I can see the VC kick in. Probably the VC module is over compensating.

Added on January 18, 2012, 8:38 pmThanks for the link. I'm aware of this. In fact, I tried to wait a while after 1/2 pressing the shutter but the result is worst than immediate press (see earlier picture I attached). Looks like the VC module got problem.

Hi guys, I just got my D5100 yesterday and I was wondering why can't I view additional information of the picture when I press up or down. The button works when I select and browse through the menu. I'm using the basic kit lens and had the picture format set to JPEG (fine).

Omg thanks! I thought someone went wrong with my camera T_T

yeah turn it off can seattle down my problem but when it come to low light condition my body af assist lamp just can't do the job..SB900 af assist is what im need for fast focusing in low light condition..need to send my lens to APD..

hello guys...i am new to photography and wanna purchase an extra nikon MBD80 grip for my D90. How much would it cost if it's just the MBD80 with out the extra batt and how much would the extra batt cost if i buy it? will it come in bundle?

mbd80 = 510
enel3 = 1++

RM510 for MB-D80 is overpriced...way way overpriced...

woah...so expensive one ar! i gotta think twice now....zzzzz

Street pricing should be roughly RM450~RM480 I guess. Depending on your nego skill.

photography is not a cheap hobby i would say...
it starts from around Rm2k to at least Rm10k if u r serious into it...
ofcoz...
alot more den Rm10k if u get poisoned...

fifty nifty works great aummm
