24mm f/2.8 & 650D - poor AF

This is the second copy of the 24mm f/2.8 that I've tried with my 650D. I sent the first one back because of poor "normal" AF (Live View AF was fine). I just received the replacement lens and it's doing a similar thing. The three images below are 100% crops. #1 & #2 are "normal" AF, #3 is Live View AF. Manual mode, 1/200, f/2.8, pop-up flash. I must have moved the camera a bit closer in the Live View shot. The focus point was center, and focused on the small stack of books near the center of the image.

Has anyone had good luck with normal AF with the 24mm F/2.8? On the 650D/T4i?
