Try to stay above 1/200 shutter and below ISO 400. Do the same for the left side.If you repeat this test 3 times, and the right is sharp and the left is blurry, you have focus issues. Its not technical but there is no reason for the left to vary from the right. From what I have read tonight says that if your right AND left autofocus points are both equally soft or blurry, that is OK. As long as they are EQUAL. Then you can bring back your AF micro adjust, and they will both equally respond. However if the right is sharp and the left is soft you have an issue as well.</blockquote>
