Focusing test

http://focustestchart.com/chart.html.

If you read the instructions and copy the chart ( I copied the second chart )
you can check the camera and lens focus for correctness.

Re: Focusing test

Might just give that a go.

I take it the results (dof) will vary slightly depending on your own 'maximum' aperture ?

Re: Focusing test

Not read all the hints on the link I don't Know if DOF matters.
I would suggest trying different settings to get the results across the range.

Logic tells me that if it is consistantly out of more or less the same focus with different lenses, then I would suspect the camera
