Hi Everyone , Im having this problem with my Nikon 70-200 F2.8 , Ive uploaded to sample pics the lens is not tack sharp and I was wondering if it was my camera focusing  system , The lens has been repaired a while back . Any insights would be great . 

Both images D3s  Two different bodies  with Nikon 70-200mm GII  F2.8 , Images look soft and even though fast shutter speed , Look like shake , you can see it in eyes. All images shot in RAW ( NEF ) Exif info in Files , Yes I confirmed focus. Do I need a new camera, Do I need a new lens  ?

All images zoomed in to show details.

Help !!!!

 I also included a Images from my 24-70mm F2.8 G as well 

I now have the Beatles song go through my mind

This may be a silly and obvious question, but have you calibrated your lenses to the different bodies? I'm not a Nikon user, but I do this with both my Canon 6D and 5D MKIV cameras for each lens.

Hi dbrouno

Yes I have , I had an expert do it a while back.

Try taking some photos with the camera mounted on a tripod. Blur in the last picture is from camera shake as you mentioned by looking in the eyes. If the photos taken on a tripod are sharp you know the lens is not the issue.

The first photo it looks like you’re focused on the wall behind the model.  The second photo it looks like you’re focusing on the collar of her sweater.  I don’t know if this is of any help.

Hi Everyone , Thank you so much for suggestions , I did some experimenting and I concluded it was me causing the errors . I was holding my lens incorrectly and using focus recomposed when I should have been changing the focus points. Here is an example of my results 70-200 ( 160 mm )  at 2.8 1/250 SS VR off . Focused on poll , No Sharping in Camera Raw or Photoshop.
