No after hearing that I don't know if it really is the camera. Which lens are you having the problem with? Do you have a buddy that you can try out their camera with the same lens?
Is it only one lens giving you this problem? I think you can see where I'm going here, I just assumed that it would be more likely the camera messing up rather than the lens, however if it happens with manual focus you would be able to see the plane of focus and therefore you can tell that it is out of whack.
As far as I can tell it's just the 35 1.8. My 18-55 and 70-300 behave exactly as I would expect them to, focus point being the middle of the DoF.
I don't have anybody around that I know that has a nikon system to check it out on, unfortunately.
You won't see the DoF change with the aperture selection unless the lens is actually stopped down. Many cameras no longer allow this.
I know that I don't have DoF preview. Do they even make cameras that have a DoF preview anymore? I also know, given a distance and aperture and lens length, approximately how much DoF I should see and where I should see once the image is made.
I am not talking about that, I'm talking about the DoF not being where I expected it to be.
