I will upload two snaps of the exact same image, but at different lengths. The first image you will see where sharpness is all around the area I set my focus on and the system clearly indicated
that is where it is, however, it is not at all in focus. In fact, the first image has both problems of front and back focusing, but not on the subject. The only post I did on this image was resizing and
a touch of contrast in order to reduce some ugly haze on a day with harsh sunlight. Thanks for viewing. TT

On this second image, one can see that the Stamen is in focus (after moving in closer to the subject) and even the front focus is better, however the back focus is sharper
than the Stamen. It makes one pause and wonder if the answer at least in this situation is to move in closer. These are images that were adjusted prior to leaving the
house and everything seemed fine. Now, one issue has come to mind and that is when I was done with each shot, I noticed the lens behaved in a bizarre manner by
moving internally and causing a delay in the image appearing on the screen. I took hold of the lens, gently moved it from side to side and could feel the optics/elements
moving, meaning it is quite possible that they have separated from the adhesive and that would explain at least in part the erratic auto focus issue.
Well, anyway here is the second image. Again, thanks for viewing. Okay, the images uploaded in reverse order, but you can tell which one is being discussed.
