DUH...I just realized it's an AF lens! Such a small part of my lens stable, I forget about them at times. Have you tried different options for how many focus points the camera is using? It might pick out that infinity distance better with a particular choice, but not with the other options.

Or it could be a Stigma! Sad if that is the case.

I hope I'm wrong, but the one on the left looks like it might be a quarter-cookie off! How did Adorama let it out the door?

KIT: Pentax 645Z with (adapted) Pentax 67 120mm f 3.5 soft focus, but at f 11.0 so that the soft focus effect is not used.
