The graininess of course is not a function of the camera, but of the film
and possibly processing.
Try some Fuji and see what you think. :-)
You may want to attach a manual lens and take a couple shots with that. And
put the AF lens on your manual bodies and take a couple of test shots. That
could possibly isolate the perceived problem to the AF lens if it is faulty
somehow. Also focus the AF lens manually on the AF body and snap a shot,
and then take the same photo allowing the body to focus. Compare them to
see if it is focusing correctly.
