Re: Try recalibrating your micro focus adjustment...

This sis one reason maybe, when you put the lens cap on you apply pressure to the focus gear or even if you store the lens face down you have the same issue. The focus gear on the 50 1.4 is very fragile for want of a better term and goes out of shape very easily.

The results is the camera doesn't focus correctly, the elements are not all in place.
