Infinity focus issue on X Pro 2

I've been using an X-E2 body with a metabones speed booster (focal reducer) and my Zuiko OM 50mm f1.4 and 28mm f2 lenses for over 4 years with great results. As long as I nailed focus and stopped down, even one stop, I could get tack sharp photos.

About a month ago I decided to trade in the X-E2 for the X Pro 2. But only shot some close up test shots with it. Until this weekend, when I took the X Pro 2 out on a walk and shot some street and landscape photos, and was very surprised at how out of focus they were. On further inspection I realised that neither of my lenses appear sharp in the EVF when focused at Infinity. I never had this issue on the X-E2 and am wondering if anyone using adapted lenses has come across this issue on the X Pro 2..?

The metabones speed booster does have a way to adjust the distance from the sensor, and this has helped a little, but it is still nowhere as good as it was on the X-E2 without any adjustments.
