I recently joined the Canon world with a Mark II. I finally had some
time to take it out and play sunday, but the results were frustrating.
I was shooting my wife and son on our swing set. I set my focus point
to the far right point, and shot vertical. I was dead on my son's face.
I shot a bunch of pictures this way, and none of them are in focus. All
backfocused. I was shooitng with a Sigma 70-200. Later that night,
i reset all custom functions, and shot a few more off the center square,
of my cat. Pictures are dead on sharp. so, this morning, I brought the camera in with me, and used one of our Canon 70-200s and tried the same test, sure enough, OOF pics. Front focus. My camera performed fine with
a 24-70L on it, on all focus points. Is this a problem related to longer focal
lengths of zoom lenses, or do I need to send my camera in to be checked. I bought it as a refurb from B&H two weeks ago. Sorry for the long winded post. I am still learning the system, and trying to rule out user error. Here are the pics:
