Re: Canon 7D + 50mm 1.4 Front-Focus Woes

Hi,

Same lens, same body, same issues.

I tested the lens on a tripod with live view, zoomed in, no corrections applied, and it was spot on, but it seemed to chase a bit. (tested at 1.4, 6-7' away from point of focus)

In my case, in camera lens correction is not needed. In low light, well, I hope for contrast to do the trick.

I have to check each and every shot for focus/sharpness. The nifty-fifty was way better in that respect. I have never used a 1.2 so I can't comment on it. Sad really that focus accuracy is so random because I really like this lens.
