Thank you all for your replies.

I just want to make sure I read these correct. So the live view and focus peaking setup means I see exactly what the sensor sees.

However, when I use the viewfinder, it could be off a bit (hence the reason for a diopter... which I didnt know about).

I admit, that I took a bunch of pictures with both the viewfinder (most) and focus peaking and some where in focus, but most where not. I didnt know which came from which type of focus.

Also, if the viewfinder is off a bit and needs adjusting, it wouldnt need different adjustment for different lenses.... would it?

I will certainly do the tripod setup with an AF lens and compare the viewfinder with live view. I also see a reason to not shoot at 1.7 just because I got a lens that could shoot at 1.7. Just want to make sure my camera (and myself) is setup for success. It sure is frustrating going on a walk with my daughter and getting less than 50% keepers cause of focus!
