Focus on that shot looks like this to me.

Re focus on this shot the cats face and the foreground are on the same focal plane,the paws and clothing are further back and out of focus granted,but for me the face and foreground are in the 90's % in focus,but that's just my and my cameras focusing systems opinion,poll how many more advance on two say focus is a problem,I note far more replies never had an issue. G

A couple of quick statements having read all the above ( many thanks to all who took the time to reply ) I,m using NikonD7100 ( no filter as someone mentioned ) with Nikon 35 mm f1.8 lens, Bill said is was focused not on the eyes,I wonder did others think that ? I,m not so sure.
Obviously FF at bargain basement prices are a lot of the thinking behind D600 as shutter fiasco has kept prices sensible
Would love to have see me holding a D800 but realistically with new FF lens being needed,maybe that's a bridge too far !?
One interesting thing to me which I might need to try ,is FF lens on my 7100 but something close to my 35 mm ( 50 mm FF equivalent ) is There a FF lens with same focal length ?

Nice B&W picked your viewpoint well I think.Graham

Hi,
Can I ask for opinions ?
Been photographing cats at shows with DX and having now feel I have gone as far as I can quality wise e.g. Raw,editing,I,m tempted to go FX
Question is Nikon D600 good enough for improvement ? Or would it take a big jump I.E. Nikon D800 to show improvement ?
Here's a sample of where I,m at with DX

HI can clarify ? I,m indeed talking about the CAmERa BUffEr, I REALISE CARD SPEED HELPS A LOT GETTING PHOTOS OFF THE BUFFER AND ONTO THE CARD ( have upgraded cards in both slots ) BUT and THis Is IS MY FAULT FOR NOT SAVING THE LINK WHEN I SAW IT!
A guy was saying he had sped up the buffer by turning off every process not needed for settings on U1.
Am I making any sense? Or gobbly speak ! Graham

I am ashamed to be having to ask how to do this as I,m pretty savvy with my Nikon D7100 but I just cannot figure out how to increase the buffer speed by having other things turned off on U1' help Graham

thank you everyone for all your great and varied replies, this could just go and go as there seems more to it than first meets the eye ! Graham

crazy !!

one of my favourites from up there !

For anyone who liked that last photo,here's another ! enjoyed being up there 87 feet on the tower and being left alone to enjoy taking photographs ! what could be better ? Graham

well at the risk of being called the dreaded "R" word, here in the UK wearing a towel here might well guarantee being left alone ! Graham

they are trying hard though !! (sad face ) Graham

I read your comment with interest, I cannot believe it seems to be just me that's getting the pointed end of the stick it seems, I agree that if someone asks that I do not photograph them I do not out of politeness, not legal requirement, I also take care not to take photographs of schools if children are out playing as there are obvious ramifications even if innocently doing so ! However I have been stopped a few times in the street and asked why am I photographing ,once a guy sped to halt ,jumped out of his car and demanded to know why I have photographed him coming down the road !? All I can say is, I try when faced with this attitude to be polite answer calmly and truthfully, hopefully the parties concerned can see they have nothing to fear from my hobby !? Graham

pleased you have been left alone John and got the gardens sorted,fingers crossed your luck spreads to me here ! Graham
