[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 133501, member: 9240"] Having not performed the test, I can't explain what I didn't test. I only thought it was interesting that I'd just heard yesterday that maintaining focus on the 85mm 1.4 was a familiar problem. That said, if the problem is apparent through apertures f2.5 then you're now dealing with a deeper dof and it isn't just a reframing issue. On every prime I would perform a fine tuning focus adjustment on the camera at maximum aperture (f1.4). Once that's done I would assume that it should maintain focus at smaller apertures, regardless of camera. Reading that it didn't help and experiencing it are two different things. I do recall reading something about the 1.4 behaving badly after fine tuning, but I couldn't possibly remember where. [/QUOTE]
