You are absolutely right Tom. It is front focused. The poor fellow wandered constantly, and I had trouble geting the focus right in the weather. When opening up to focus, and then steping down again to make the shot, it is a hit and miss on moving subjects. I can live with manual focus, bit I wish I had an A-lens.
I took about 30 frames of him. About 2/3 where in focus, and this was not. But, this was the one, if you see what I mean.
