My problem is, it isn't bad on every shot. It isn't bad on other cameras. I can't see sending it in when in fact it works great on two cameras, and works good half the time on my 7D.I was looking into getting FoCal, but I have everything Mac. When they complete their beta Mac version I'll probably get it. But really, I'd be getting for this one camera, for this one lens.
Here are 3 examples. (all with a 7D with a 100-400 lens)
1) Iso 1600, 1/400, f6.3, 235mm
2) iso 400, 1/250, f5.6 400mm
3) iso 800, 1/500, f7.1, 400mm
Now one with the Sigma 120-300os
iso 400, 1/500, f4 at 300mm.
Although much of her face looks out of focus, the tip of her nose is spot on, like many of my shots with this lens. The shallow DOF hurt me on this one, but, with some processing this shot would turn out well.
Looks like the MFA is spot on. This looks like more a matter of mastering the 7D focusing.
If focusing with the Zone AF or the 19 Points, the 7D will focus on the closest item with enough contrast. By default the 7D shows which point is used.
If focusing with a single point, then only that point will be used.

I know that I tried the zone focus for a few shot, but quickly went back to center point. I did try the expanded center point also, but my best results came with center point all alone.
I've used the center point 95% of the time since my Canon 300D.
