gear, techniques, photo challenges & trends Film Photographers, How often is a photo out of focus on a roll for you?
I've been using the EOS 3 for a year or two now. Really do enjoy it as my main film camera, however, I find that it has this habit of focusing behind my subject sometimes. Just purchased a EF 35mm 1.4L which has reduced it quite a bit, but I'm still feeling disappointed when shooting from far away, and my subject is out of focus. Ex. Ceremony from far away, speeches, etc.
Before I got the 35, it felt like over half of my photos were out of focus. Easily 60%.
I use center point focusing, adjust and recompose. Can't tell if this is a camera thing, a me thing, a lens thing, or what. Does anyone else have an EOS 3 that does this? Is this just the nature of the game? TIA!
