Well if the below images of the front sides are comparable, it seems that the D800 has the required space there for the knobs / housing of PC-E 24mm. At least it doesn't look like the D800's flash unit height is less than the D700 (maybe D700 has the same problem also <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />...). But all in all, the strange thing is that the answer is an approved answer, and includes metering/AF issues, which also make no sense to me either... I hope there's no design flaw with that repect, otherwise we can expect to see a brand new D800"P" in the near future <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
