looking at the image how far away was you ?
I was about 2-2.5 meters away?looking at the image how far away was you ?
it looks like you might have been closer than the minimum focal distance hence the background being in focus and not the subject
I was about 2-2.5 meters away?
Have you MFA the lens to your body?This was shot on a tripod with remote trigger. To me it seems hayzee with no true point off vocus. I had the AF point set to center.
I did try some micro adjustment last night but all seem to be fine! Infact it was spot on!
I had a shufty at the original. Antennae, rearmost of central pink flowers, and edge of leaf to left of butterfly appear pretty much in focus. Your focal point appears to be behind your butterfly. Difficult to say why from one image.
FWIW all of my lenses have needed MFA on my 50D - not all in the same direction, and the Canon L lenses are the worst!
Funny that. When I forst got focus adjust on the 50D I played and all my lenses were more or less spot on and I was happy with the quality so never adjusted.
Did the same test with my 5D mk3 and haven't needed to adjust either
Yeah my 300 f4 is the worst too- massively front focussed on my 50D. I suspect it's more of an issue on long teles used at distance.i have an old 300mm f4 L that needs MFA ( - 14 i think ) but apart from that my other lenses seem fine but it's easy to fool yourself into thinking there slightly off when it's usually user error mostly camera shake
I did similar with my bodies, when my 6D arrive i'd burned through close to a 1000 images in the first night just MFA my lens to the body. Testing, testing and more testing to know 100% if it captures focus it's accurate and later if i find OOF shots then i know it was meYeah my 300 f4 is the worst too- massively front focussed on my 50D.

I did my MFA adjustments based on about 800 shots with a tripod and self timer- so it wasn't just my imagination or drinker's hands.
Got to say i don't think it looks that sharp in that shot. I've never owned the f4 lens so it might be how sharp it is but that image looks a tad soft. The reason is probably due to high ISO which makes pixels mushy and also the fact its not a contrasty image.
You're probably looking at your browsers cached version as it's gone:Not sure! if you delete it from flicr will it not show up! Mind you I can see it as i type this?
