Nifty fifty STM - focus issues, or human error?

Re: Nifty fifty STM - focus issues, or human error?

It looks normal to me.  You can expect some variance, especially since focusing is done at f/2.8 (or possibly f/5.6), but the photo was shot at f/1.8.

That's just one of the facts of life.  I also had trouble with this with film cameras.  For perfect viewfinder focusing with fast lenses, you probably need a more expensive camera, or a mirror less camera with EVF.
