That's me exacly! I got rid of the 28-105 and replaced with an older (non-vr) 24-85 and focusing got MUCH better. For me. I can't campare against higher-end nikons as I was coming from a D5500 crop, but the D610 certainly outshines that camera for focusing speed/accuracy.I find it excellent. Hard to fault the camera. I don't find the af system lacking with any of the lenses I use, I have however used a 28-105 af d screw drive lens and af was poor
I bought a D610 this summer. I am very UN-impressed with the autofocusing system and its sluggish performance with consumer-level lenses, as well as with the 180 AF-D and 85/1.8 AF-S G and the 50mm Nikkors...also the white AF assist lamp, while pretty good in dim light, comes on wayyyyy too often, and the presence and the unfortunate necessity of Nikon's decision to include said AF assist lamp is indicative of a weak AF module. There are some issues that this camera has with AF that are exceptionally annoying. Back focusing. Front focusing. Missing OBVIOUS targets. Refusing to SHOOT, etc.. Just a major PITA camera compared to the many I've used before.
This camera can often not "see" a seagull in flight, or even a jet airliner at 1,000 feet, and can become confused on otherwise easy subjects. Worst AF module I've seen in any Nikon. Period.
After 16 years with Nikons like the D1, D1h,D2x,and D3x, as well as consumer Nikons like the D70,D40, and the Fuji S2 Pro, I have to say, the autofocus module of this camera is weaker than I had been lead to believe. I find the camera slow and rather unresponsive, and am really regretting the decision to buy it. The D610 has been a major dissapointment to me. One of my LEAST-favorite digital SLR cameras, and I have owned the above models, plus others, and three Canon digitals.
This is a consumer-level body and AF module. I loathe the ISO system, and the U1 and U2 modes are fairly useless. Overall, the camera is adequate, but not much more than that. The FILE quality on the other hand, is extremely good! The image quality is nice, better than the D3x, which was also 24MP and FX, but which was a simple STELLAR shooter, with a hugely better AF module, better AF performance, and much,much better controls and easier to shoot. Battery life is simply superb! The grip from Nikon? SLOPPY fit. Bad,bad fit, with a gap, and play in it. Shabby.

Makes me wanna rent a D850 at some point and have a focusing shoot-out!
The 610 is considered there entry lvl full frame correct?
Isn't eBay a little bit of gamble?Don't know if your willing to do Ebay. But D800's are down to around $1,000 to $1,200. Low shutter count one on there now for less than $1,000. 18k clicks on it.
