I have tried that.
With manual adjustment, focus is at the same point on the matte screen
as on the chip.
I perfomed the same test with MZ-S and Z-1, btw, and both were
accurate.
A whole inch difference seems a lot. Is this discrepancy the same with
different lenses in the same focal range?

No, Im not shure. You may very well be right. Anyone else tried this
with
the "D"?

You sure that your viewfinder and sensor distances are equal? Could
be
that one needs to be adjusted.

I did that I few days ago. Focusing at 10 inch (centre of the view
finder) -
the 11 inch mark (further away from me) was sharp. I shot that test
from
appr. 2-3 meters distance witrh the FA 2.8/80-200mm.

Hello Jens,
My personal feeling is that the sensor area is larger than we would
like to think. Achieving AF within the sensor bounderies (not
visible
to us) is all the system is going to do.
An intersting, though mostly useless exercise is to take a picture
of a
ruler that is at an angle to the camera, and see where the focus is
in
relation to the chosen focus point.
