Shipping Df to Nikon - how?

[Bjørn Rørslett]

OK. Got it now.

That said, it is also worth sending the lens you use the most along with the body, if you want to match a particular lens with your particular camera.

Thank you for all advice. Akira's point is what I was wondering about if Nikon does camera to lens calibration together. My most used lens on the DF are probably 24-140 f4, 50 1.8 G and 85 1.8 G, so I might send the zoom in too.

Rob, I haven't have my bodies to calibrate with a zoom.  If I were you, I might send 85/1.8G with the body, because 85/1.8G appears to be the most critical about the focusing accuracy among the lenses you named.

No they don't calibrate a body to match a specific lens, no need for that at all.

Don't be worried too much about stuff like that

But the reliability of AF has been vastly improved.  Maybe they calibrated both the camera and the lens to the standard individually.  Now I need no in-camera micro-adjustment.

Picking up an older thread of mine... someone suggest APS (http://www.nikoncamerarepair.com), a third party company, to me for camera adjustment. Has anyone used them? To be honest I don't know why I would use them vs. Nikon direct, probably cheaper?

Any thoughts to share?

Thanks,
Rob.
