You know, I had the same problem with a 50/1.2 shot wide open one day. I
took some BEAUTIFUL portraits of my family with window light, but EVERY one
was about 2-3" off focus, which effectively ruined them all. I know my
eyes are failing a bit, but every shot? Geez.
I'd love to hear other stories and/or solutions.
Can an SLR get out of focus calibration? (I know my rangefinders can do this.)

A few days ago I was comparing a few lenses (85mm f2, 100mm f2.8, 135mm
f2.8, 50mm f1.4) by taking some portraits of my daughter. She was sitting
in a
chair quite still and I was able to focus quite accurately (so I thought)
on her
eyelashes, lighting was with T32 bounced from an umbrella. Film was Kodak
Portra 160NC, body OM-2SP with 1-4 screen, aperture f2.8 for each lens.
When I got the film back about 1/4 to 1/3 showed incorrect focus, with the
area of
sharpest focus not the eyelashes.
So how do you achieve "correct" focus ?
