 Nikon SLR not focussing properly - Dulwich Estate
There are on or two keen photographers here and I wonder if anyone can help.

My 5 year old SLR has worked well until about a year ago when I found images were not properly focussed and I've pretty much stopped using it since then.

Symptoms are:

Used to work fine.

Now does not focus properly on manual or auto focus.

I have reset the dioptre thing on the eyepiece - correctly I think using a tripod etc. but still no joy.

If I focus using only using the 3 inch rear screen zoomed in to get the best possible sharpness then my photos are fine.

So it's not a lens or vibration problem.

Is the mirror maybe not seating properly ?

Anyway, it's big old thing to lug about so I can see a bridge camera purchase looming which will make the problem go away !
