Re: EF 85 mm f/1.8 with 70D: front focusing?

My experience with an old copy of the same lens was that it required +18 MFA and produced fantastic results at f/4, very good results at f/2.8 and acceptable results most of the time at f/1.8. I didn't buy a copy of the lens although at f/4 the results were amazing simply because I put more money into a 70-200 f/4 IS - and had a 50mm f/1.4 which is a lot more erratic.

The 85mm would have been a keeper though but not if I didn't have MFA.
