Thanks for the quick replies.
I did read about FF issues with this lens but I'm pretty certain this isn't the case, if anything there is a minute amount of BF. Thanks for the sample pics, I haven't done anything scientific yet (away with work
) but I am seriously starting to think I have a bogus one. I have to stop right down to get anything decent out of it. I'll do some mirror up, SR off tripod shots of a ruler outside or something and get some second opinions before I take it back. My local dealer though very helpful is somewhat sceptical about this sort of thing...
