yes i did, it needed -20 on my 50mm 1.8G, (n still is not that sharp..im thinking it needed more than that), my 14-24 is also affected n needed -10, and we're talking all middle points. guess my copy is that bad huh? having to change lens and change on the micro adjustments sucks big time. not only that, when im using the fifty, subject further than 1m/2m away seems to be in focus without micro adjustments. sometimes that is! warghhhh

having the super resolution might be an advantage as i post some pics on my fb - resize it and the misfocus is not so visible. but knowing the fact that its not properly focused really bothers me alot
i think not 6 months, maybe one really needs to wait..maybe a year or so? buying a 2-year-old D3s/D700 body now sometimes will get u no problems. i have bought 3 x D700, 2 x D3, 2 x D3s, and ALL of them seems to have perfect focusing, no other problems. (not mine ah, this all help fren buy )

and i've bought a D600 and a D800 brand new..both of em got probs

eh bro, i thot D700 came out with the price range of RM6.8k~7.2k? why cheaper than the D600? correct me if im wrong ya
haha good point!

nikon got their equipments in line real good now. if u want the D4 sensor, then u have to buy the D4. if the D800 is too much and the D600 is flawed...guess one will hav to opt the D700 for a cheap FF solution then

but but.. i want video capabilities 

Is it now good timing to buy D7000? Or rumour D7100 coming soon? @_@

anyone know how to differentiate this lens with this

anyway if u planning to get 50mm lens. for D7k, the 1.8D version also ok wut.. rm370 only.

then u need to wait nikon repair the flaws on D600 n D800 la

but i would like to know the different between them. 

ya lah, have to wait patiently for them to fix it
D = got aperture ring at the lens mount. cannot be used on d5200/d3200. classic lens
G = gilded lens, no aperture ring at mount. can be used d7000 above only

in terms of image quality, u can checkout flickr groups or google.

that means G is only can be use by d7000 or later model?

btw thanks for the information

what did he say is true.
my d600 100 shots already show dust, i didn't even change lens lol
hold your horse first, let nikon come out a solution then only buy the later batch one.

I shoot landscape quite often(f11 or smaller), cloning off the dusts is annoying

glad to hear that
i just sent my d600 body for 2nd cleaning.
Shutter count is 10k.
i will verify once i got it back.

aiks.. i tot G can be used will those entry level dslr as well?
the main diff is prolly price D lenses have no AF motor, you'll need dslr that have AF motor on the body, in this case D7K is one of them. entry level model, D3100,3200,5000 all that doesn't have motor build in body, so they need lenses that have motor in them, can be identified by AF-S word on the lens. AF/AF-S all also D7K can use. i never tested both lens, as i only have the D version. anyway from what i know image quality don't differ much, maybe AF speed and noise the G lenses is better.

Got difference in image quality, you can see some detail review comparison from some sites. The G have rounded aperture blades, so the bokeh balls will be different too. Also from my experience, D lenses generally output cooler images while G lenses output more warm images shooting the same scene with AWB. Though, it's just a simple test.

The new G Lens, AF is also silent and allows Manual Override, and the focus ring does not move when focusing, unlike the D version which will move/rotate when focusing.
