Thanks that shot was 1/30 handheld with SS off, oops forgot to turn it back on.
Unfortunately, AF seems to be inconsistent about 30% of the time for me. I have -15 dialed in but still experimenting. I ordered LensAlign to verify. Lenstip I think had the same problem. It will occasionally back focus by about 3 inches at f1.4 when shooting at about a yard away.
I think other systems might do the same though so I'm not too worried.
There is CA wide open but starts going away even at F2 although still noticeable. I haven't tried very hard to remove it yet since none of these will be printed.

AF inconsistency cannot be cured by micro-adjustments. I believe it is a body related issue. Sometimes the AF sensors are not exactly where they are supposed to be, they can be very slightly displaced. This will make you miss focus on some shots but not on others depending on how large is the target.
I do experience AF inconsistency on some of my lenses, but I know they are very accurate when they hit it right. That's why I do not dial in any correction. And the miss rate is much lower than my previous cameras of "another" brand.
