Hey guys. So I bought a used Nikon 610 and a Sigma 70-200 2.8 lens and I am having some issues with it focusing. I am not sure if it's user related or the lens has some issues on its focus point. I also tried out my other Nikkor lens to make sure there wasn't any issues with the body. Just to clarify, I cropped out most of my room because it was a disaster and for you guys to better view my focusing issue.
Here is the camera at 2.8 zoomed to 185mm and the focus point is on the bolt. Focuses just fine.
Now here I am in the same location but with the lens at 70mm at 2.8 and it's focusing about 10 to 12 inches behind the focus point (the bolt).
Why is this happening? Is it something I am doing wrong or does this seem to be a lens issue? I noticed it happening when I was out shooting a horse show and I would have my focus set somewhere on the horses face with my f stop at different values. Somewhere farther along in the background would be in focus rather than where my focus point would be set regardless if I zoomed in to my subject or had it set at 70. Please help. I need to know what I am doing wrong or if I need to send the lens back.
Also, please be nice. No A-hole comments pretty please. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all.
