I recently bought the 85mm f1.8, and am trying to get used to it. I've noticed some oddity with the focusing on my 6D, as demonstrated in the attached shot. I was using center AF point only, and the spot was on the subject's face. The camera reported focus, but it was clearly way off -- focusing on the near shoulder/arm instead.
This is not a consistent problem, as I do get accurate focus sometimes. My one guess is that with the shoulder/arm being so much brighter than the face, that the AF got confused. But can light from that far away from the center of the frame really affect the center AF point?
Thanks for your help and advice.
