I'll try to answer these in one shot.
dhbanes - Yes, shooting at f/2.
Joseph. - I tried just strictly by the viewfinder and using the green dot. Viewfinder would look "in focus" and I had the same results after taking the shot, very out of focus. Switch to live view and it's obviously the same OOF, pull it back a little and it's tack sharp.
the solitare - That's a good point about the viewfinder only being optimized for f/2.8 and slower...could very well be the culprit. If I were to get a split prism and shim would I 1) enter LV and focus until it is perfectly in focus then 2) switch out of LV and take note of whether the split prism is in focus or out and 3) shim and repeat until the split prism is in focus when LV is?
NightOwl Cat - I have adjusted the diopter to give a crisp sharp view my eyes. I am a glasses wearer, not sure if it matters or not. I use the round eyepiece with the collapsible cup.
matthewo - Yes that's my G8. Sold my Nissan Titan last fall and picked it up, have done a few things since then. It's a GT, don't let the bumper fool you Any shots of yours?
Thanks everyone for the responses!! I might try a focusing screen and shim... I have only used split prism screens in the past, but a lot of people seem to prefer the S-type matte screen with no split prism etc. Any preferences here?
