Hi Henry and others,
I have taken the liberty to translate your experiment descriptions in Dutch and posted it on a Dutch newsgroup on photography. I asked whether other brands (nikon, minolta, canon...) had the same problem. If so, it is interesting to know.
Btw: if you're interested in this Dutch version, i'll be glad to mail it to you. And; i will see what happens in the dutch group, and keep you posted!
Thanks for your stimulating input. However, i still do not regret having a MZ-5n. (Usually my pictures are ok: maybe the subjects move towards me between the instant of autofocussing and pressing the button... ;-) )
Bye!
Syb

Dear Heiko,
Thank you for your interest on my testing.
You can see the photos showing the test target and the equipment arrangement from the following links:

The following is a clearer scan showing the typical result from the centre AF sensor of my MZ-S:

It has shown that the sharpest focused area is about 5mm-10mm in front of the target. Quite a disappointing result from my MZ-S.

Really interesting test. Could you scan the test target and write
something about the test procedure? I would like to make this test with
my MZ-5n AF.
Regards, Heiko
