Does it behave correctly with other lenses? The diopter adjustment would be my first suspicion. Alternatively, maybe your mirror is really dirty ? Wait  = I just actually read what you wrote... LOL. ...

Thanks for posting - I found it a good article describing the psychology of these individuals. Makes you wonder what these people did before the internet.
