Yesterday M8 on tripod and release cord, 2.5 meter distance, Shutter time 1/160 Fstop 16, Iso 160 not focus at all, cleary back focus, with a f16 the dept of field should be between 1.75 and 3.5 meters, noway in this picture. My wife took this picture and she has very sharp eyes...and focus it on my eyes.

Is it fair to ask an replacement of the camera? I got a DEFECTIVE camera out the BOX?
Hi,
I wonder how you could possibly get the 15mm out of focus? It isn't coupled but has an extraordinary depth of field So any unsharpness could only be attributed to user error OR that your CCD is totaly out of whack.

That said, I too have lenses which just don't seem to focus right. My 50 1.5 nokton is one of these.
Wishing you all the best,

Etienne
