Adam,

My serial# is 2626xx. From what I see posted on DPReview, I think there is a lot of sample variation and the samples with problems seem to have different problems. I plan on sending this sample to Nikon. Before I do that I want to get my D70 calibrated to correct a small amount of backfocus. Although I do not see consistent left side softness on all my lenses, I want to get the body calibrated and my lenses retested before I send this one in. It will be interesting to see what, if anything, they do about it. I did email Nikon these images and they suggested sending the lens in.

It is interesting that the 70-200VR I ordered was a bit soft on the right side, although not as bad as this lens. My other lenses show no asymetrical softness to either side.

Regards,
Neil

What serial # is of your lens.
The left side is visibly softer than central and right side at every focal range.
This is the reason I so hesitate to order this lens.

Best regards,

Adam
