nikon d800 advice

I own a D800E and had no problems with sharpness I use the 70-200 VR 2 and the zeiss 21mm f2.8 used these lens without any issues I do mainly landscapes with the mirror up mode I first click once to put the mirror up and wait for 5 sec and then click again to activate the shutter to try and avoid vibrations.

Hello Torro. Ever thought of back button focusing. That's using the AF-L button on the back of the camera to focus, instead of the half press. You get a lot more consistency using it.

Consider using exposure delay mode instead ... and with the timer if need be.

If you are 'clicking' the release by hand(and not remote) the effort is basically futile .. so I'm assuming a remote is being used here.

I'm sure you mean the AF-On button and not AF-L.

That's what I meant... AF-On.. The writing on my button is almost worn out..

Yes, used this technique when I was in China, (AF on back of camera) works a treat.
