I'm not arguing, I want this solved so don't take the responses as contentious.
1. It happens on every lens I own....and that's a lot of them
2. If I have the select point directly on the eye and it locks focus and this is the result......is that not a focus issue? Center point recompose doesn't address the issue, its a completely different approach.

I don't think that we need the original. You can clearly see where it focused and I provided the aperture. Its a still image with no motion blur and I used 2 mono lights into 36" softboxes so if there was any motion at 1/100th it would be frozen.
Originally posted by jatrax I personally always use center point, I've never used any of the other modes and honestly still do not understand how the camera is supposed to read my mind and focus on what I want.
Perhaps I don't understand how it works then. I assumed that if I'm on SEL on the back of the camera and AF-S, I use my arrow keys to move the red dot over what I want to be in focus. I'm "selecting the point" for the camera so it doesn't have to read my mind.
Lets try the focus tests....can you provide a link to the chart and directions? I want to make sure its the same one that I have. When I do the test, will a successful result be 100% consistent?
