I have had my d3200 for a couple years now, and have never really been happy with the photos. I just attributed it to inexperience. I have spent the last couple years reading and shooting, I got the "spyder lencal"
this is just a preliminary shot {out of many} hand held,
but they all show {back?} focusing past the "O"
the lens I am using is the 24-85mm Nikon.
I have not had time to do lens comparison, nor tried putting it on my d800 yet.
I do know how to do lens cal, with the 800. {now}
MY question is
1) can the 3200 be calibrated?
2) if yes, will it remember "JUST" 1 lens , or all my lenses?

I know I need to do a lot more testing,

I am in the middle of remodeling my kitchen, and just don't have that much time to mess with it.
{ double oven today/stove top tomorrow/ and build a bar on Monday!!} happy wife happy life

thanks for any info

I also have run across tags stating same thing! but assumed it was because there is not an AF settable from menu/ I thought maybe there would be a way a technician could do it! :thumbup: thanks

I found this article -- now a caveat I'm not tweaking my mirror assembly, nor am I promoting it but there seems to be a end user fix, I would rather send it into Nikon with the lens and let them fix it however some of us are born to tinker so...

great find!!!!!!!!!!!!! that did answer my questions!!!
it is a manual fix only!!
I like tinkering , but was a heavy equipment/diesel mechanic for 45 years, I don't think a sledge hammer would be the best tool!!
on second thought................... :D :D

thanks!!

I can't help with the focus issue, but I can tell you how two 60+ guys installed a double oven over a sloped stairway without breaking their backs or getting hurt at all.
