Wedding in Dokkum, as we were in north Friesland for a week.
(Still experiencing focus issues with the Zf, the 35/1.8S or 24/1.8S unfortunately)



I came across similar findings in a review by Dustin Abbott,

is that an issue / problem with the newest firmware?

My troubles with Nikon AF are that there is a new AF System in every camera and I do have to check everything, even the stuff I do not understand.

On my holidays I set the Zf to "AF-C & 3D tracking" and accidentially set the D850 to "AF-S & 3D-Tracking". Result are very beatiful cow shots I can all delete because of misfocussing. The cows are beautiful, not the shots.

Because most of my Zf shots are manually focussed I cannot contribute much to AF-issue-tracking

[Fons Baerken]

The issue seems random, the af system is  software-hardware, although i think wider lenses at smaller apertures appear more susceptible, and minimum distances again. I rely on the af system for street stuff, that's where mostly the z35mm f/1.8S comes into play. Yet the eye focus is quite perfect! I re-updated firmware 1.20 will see where it gets me.
