[QUOTE="J-see, post: 453967, member: 31330"] Btw, if you're using live-view to focus, don't pay too much attention to the focus arrows and dot. It's entirely possible that you set the lens to perfect focus and the cam considers it out of focus. That's why we fine-tune all our lenses. Set it to manual, focus in live-view at max magnification and take a shot. Then some later take another and check if it is still in perfect focus. Do NOT point the lens upward or downward while doing so since it might extend or contract because of its weight. Zoom lenses do this. [/QUOTE]
