I send it out tomorrow =( and probably get it back in 2-3 weeks.

back focussing is when you hit a target with AF, take the shot and it's acutally  focussed furhter back then it should have.

in my case, shooting a target 7' away, it back focusses about 2-3"

and or course, the closer I get the less noticeable it is.

I exchanged me lens today for a new one and the problem was still there, tested my kit lens and yup, problem is in that lens as well.

something I dont notice when taking car shots because my F is stopped down to a point where my DOF is so large, its hard to be out of focus.

I think this goes without saying, I am pretty upset.

on the bright side, when I get it back, my sensor will be dust free and my camera will be freshly calibrated (hopefully) and same with my kit lens which was shooting soft on the right side of the picture....seems like I got a friday camera....

I attached a sample so you can see what I mean

the target is on Vince's neck (which is 5" in front of Sephiroth). now tell me what the sharpest thing in that picture is...

The real problem with that picture is the lame posing of the FF characters. Tongue
