[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 134291, member: 13076"] Ok here are examples of test shots I completed a moment ago. In this image the corner of the speaker was selected and boom! [ATTACH=CONFIG]32035._xfImport[/ATTACH] So I tried something more complex like these leaves. The center leaf was selected. [ATTACH=CONFIG]32036._xfImport[/ATTACH] Here's a comparison with f/1.4 on the left and f/2.8 on the right. And although softer at f/1.4 as to be expected, it is still in focus. (the comparisons belows are crops of the original images) [ATTACH=CONFIG]32037._xfImport[/ATTACH] So then I thought ok I should go in dimmer light conditions, but again, no problem. Again f/1.4 on the left and f/2.8 on the right. [ATTACH=CONFIG]32038._xfImport[/ATTACH] And back to brighter light. f/1.4 left, f/2.8 right. [ATTACH=CONFIG]32039._xfImport[/ATTACH] Huh. No problem. Here's an illustration at f/1.4 that blew me away. The focus indicator fell exactly on the front section of the little raised camera of my TV, exactly as I saw it in the viewfinder, and there it is in the photo. I think this photo illustrates just how demanding it is for the autofocus system to deal with a lens like this. I can't imagine the Canon f/1.2 lens. Wow. [ATTACH=CONFIG]32040._xfImport[/ATTACH] So now all I can do is keep testing and see if it comes up again. The only possibility that comes to mind at this point is that the camera itself had to "learn" the lens. [/QUOTE]
