Hi all, over the Christmas break I sent my Canon 24mm 1.4 L ii and 5D Mark iii to Fixation UK for lens calibration (MF adjustment) this was due to issues with front focusing and despite it locking on to focus (center point). The work to be carried out according to the report from Fixation was: Set up and recalibrate , Focus System , Check and clean (Technicians' Comments: No optical issues however lens zero position could be improved). I also checked my 5D Mark iii AF MF menu which is disabled, are Canon lenses calibrated any other way?
Today I received the lens and camera back today and pulled it out the box in excitement, took a few shots with the came on a tripod and shot the boxes that I had unboxed in my excitement. I shot about 2 meters away from the subject using the center focus point at the letters 24 MM on the lens box. To my surprise it produced defocused image and for some reason my sofas's corner seemed to be more in focus. Now I'm unsure if this is my technique here with such wide prime (its the only focal length I've had an issue with), or if there is an issue. I tried few more shots of different objects and results seemed the same.
I have attached an image of the box I shot, please let me know your views. I may give Fixation a call in the morning.
