Thanks Bob,I have tried the DF+ on a limited basis.
first, the adjustment for each back is good but limited in the sense that it does not provide adjustments on a per lens basis unless you do one lens/ back combination per custom settings set.
Other than that, it MAY have focused a bit better than the DF but not dramatically so.

Thanks Steve, So far I have not experienced the issue of the auto focus beam, - that is a real problem!! Lucky it is still under warranty. Do you know if Jack changed to accuracy on the DF+?I have 2 issues with my 645DF+, but they are not with the autofocus.
I don't have any complaints about the autofocus. I think Jack said he doesn't need the second and third tap anymore with accuracy mode.
One issue is, I have to setup the custom fuctions I want every time I use the camera. When the camera is off for a while, it forgets them.
The other thing I've found is, the autofocus assist beam can actually come on during an exposure. Then the red beam on the subject would ruin the picture, like this example:

Hi Bob, do you the use speed or accuracy setting on the DF+I have tried the DF+ on a limited basis.

Thank you Steve, I think I will switch over to the accuracy mode. I have been shooting with a monopod, when not using a tripod. Found that helps with shutter speed. On Sensor plus and iso 400 handheld is usable for me as I can get shutter speed up to at least 250 at f8.Well, Jack doesn't have one, he just used one at a workshop. He said with the accuracy mode, "there was never a need for the third tap and rarely a need for even the second tap."
I think it depends on the lens, and the subject. With the 150mm f/2.8, even in accuracy mode, the camera may adjust the focus on the second and third tap. You have to decide for yourself which mode works best. I prefer the accuracy mode, and only use the center focus point.
