Has anyone solved the auto-focus problem of Nikon D7000 with this calibrator?

I found that I had not been pleased with the focus at times on my D7000. I purchased The SpyderLensCal and it confirmed on multiple lens's that it was backfocusing.. All lens's were in the back focus category... I am very pleased with the results... Waiting for nice weather to calibrate my Tamron 150-600 and i suspect it will be in the same category as the other lens's...

You are calibrating the camera not the lens itself... The camera body reads the serial number of the lens and apply's the bias or correction to the focus system of the body... So if you are looking at another camera body make sure it does infact have the feature... I am not sure if the 5100 has that feature... I know my D90 does not...

Hi.I´m sorry but I can´t answer that cuestion because I don´t have that kind of camera. But as I have understod, Nikon has not changed the system of the lenses so I´m 90% sure it will work. If you have a lens with autofokus there is a chanse that it doesn´t work so you have to set the focus manually.

Have the same problem as well...didn't have it with D700 or D300. Really not pleased given this is a $3K camera. Really lowers the pleasure of using this camera - may have to return.

My camera wasn't grey market. It was Nikon USA. Still having troubles with viewfinder focus. Camera is being repaired for the 3rd time. I have a feeling it still won't work properly.

Try adjusting the diopter adjustment on the viewfinder- likely was off. Should view and record in focus.

I googled the company name who made the product; mine was different, and then user forums for their product and found someone posted the fix which required release without setup to be enabled. It works fine after that, and allows me to use some great minolta manual lenses, no auto focus.

I just received my D800 a couple weeks ago. Almost all my images are out of focus, even with simple portraits. I haven't contacted Nikon yet because I'm attempting to return the camera.

I'm using the 2x converter with that exact same lens on my Canon Rebel T3. It works fine, but I have a hard time getting it to auto focus. It keeps going in-and-out of focus and runs the battery down in about 5 minutes of trying. I think this is more due to my shaky hands and the extra weight of the converter than anything. Tripod might solve the problem-----haven't tried that yet.

I have the Nikon DX AFS Nikkor 18-55 f3.5-5.6 G lens and autofocus works in some situations but not in others. If the initial focus is not too far from perfect focus, it will focus but rather reluctantly after much back & forth. Unfortunately, I do not have the exact lens you mention.

Yes, the D7000 has the built-in AF motor, so you will be able to autofocus (source: dpreview.com's D7000 review.)

I'm surprised, I would have thought that would work, especially with the D7000. Sorry, I guess I can't help with this one. Good luck!

Hi personally it did not work for me. The camera becomes set back so far as a result of the mounting that focussing is a problem. For me other than macro work it was not suitable and certainly not as all round useful as I understood it to be. I returned mine for a refund

I also have this slow focus problem on my D300 and D700. Slower focusing than any other lens I have used. Anyone heard about a fix for this yet?

You've probably figured this out by now, but in case anyone is browsing this forum later on and still wants the answer, I thought I'd post. I use old manual focus Nikon lenses on this camera all the time. There is no auto focus, but they work perfectly fine in manual mode. I have a 10 dollar wireless remote I bought off of Amazon that works great for long shutter exposures.

Nikon has fixed the issues, but Nikon has not ever mentioned any problems either so just double check if you order one. I brought one less then a month ago without any issue tested and passed. It was found that one of the alignment stations was not calibrating correctly and about 20% of the models were effected according to Thom Hogan.

autofocusing will not work, as you do not servo built in your camera. You should look for lenses marked "af-s"...or get D70, D80, D90, D7XXX, or any of hundrets DX00.
