I don't want to admit but I think I start to developed pixel peeping ........

I'm always happy about my photo when shooting outdoor/indoor portrait and studio portrait at work.

When I'm at home I always got a feeling that my gear can adjust to get the best sharpness, so I end up taking shots of Coka Cola bottle to test the sharpness and then I start messing around with the AF fine tune. The AF fine tune actually made it worse, so I reset it back to 0 and turned it off and thats where the sharpness is decent.

I really think is me that pixel peeping all the time, everytime I do a bunch of test shot for sharpness and adjust AF etc, it end up going back to default setting.

I start to think is me that having a problem rather then the camera and lens.

You've answered your own question. You're happy with the camera in day to day use, and when you try MA, you end up at 0. Be happy you kit's fine and take some pictures :)

The meaning is clear enough and that's the main thing and I'm pretty sure that your English is better than most British peoples Chinese :D

Many of us pixel peep from time to time, it's probably something that we shouldn't do - but we still do :D
 
I speak two languages... English and Anglo Saxon :D (naughty words)
 
Pixel peeping is like watching naughty things on the internet, you shouldnt necessarily do it, but everyone likes a peep now and then to varying degrees and its not really a problem unless you do it all the time and become obsessed over it. Above all, it rarely, if ever makes any difference to real life scenarios.
