Guilty! .....Glad you bought it, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with it. It's tiny isn't it? The only problem I find with it is that I keep holding it on the focus ring, and then wonder what is that thing moving on my fingers!!!.... Weird or what?

 It sure is tiny..it makes me realise how heavy my other lens is....been having a play with it and it looks like fun...... Harry..I wouldn't even think of going anywhere unless you have a good pair of wellies and a waterproof camera... Sharon

Hi guys..I'm here again.. I really do think my camera is shot...I cannot take a damn thing thats sharp....It will maybe take an image sometimes thats ok then its as if it really can't be bothered and we go for the soft focus option again. Could it be wearing out ?? Do they do such a thing or do they just die ? Also a couple of times its come up with some kind of error(can't tell you what 'cos I was in the middle of a portrait shoot)and just fiddled till it came back ok....I think it's terminal....... HELP ...!

 Sharon, Try cleaning the lens contacts on the camera. (carefully!) If you remove the lens and look in the camera you can see at the top (under the flash) about 8 copper contacts. Clean them with a lintfree cloth.(basically to get rid of grease residue) On the lens you find pins, be careful not to bend them, and you better leave them alone, although it could be that one or two are bend or broken. It sounds to me that that might cure your problem.

Thanks for that Simon..unfortunately it hasn't made a bit of difference.'I've also restored back to factory settings as you suggested last time..It really is terminal....

 Sharon, are you sure it's not your new lens that's causing the problem? Maybe atrip back to where you bought the lens is in order, at least they can try a new lens to see if that's the problem

Harry..sorry for not being a bit clearer...My nikon lens is at nikon..when I took it back to jessops(along with my camera)the guy in the shop took a few pics with it and said it didn't seem right so off to nikon it went..Maybe he should have listened to me when I said I wasn't sure if it was the lens or the camera..the lens was 6 months old and still under warranty so that was the easy option I suppose.Anyway I've tried various lenses and get similar results with them all...just not sharp enough anymore..or maybe I just need new glasses... "I hope some one will be able to look and say ...thats whats wrong....maybe......" "maybe I just need new glasses...!" Aha! .... Aha!

Quick update..No one decided whats wrong with my D80 but at least my minds at rest now cos I know its not the settings or anything I've done.It just needs glasses..Anyway I bought a D90 so lets see how I get on with that... Sharon
