	My  Custom is presently with Zak having the focus adjusted.
In my case both lens had back focus problems, the right lens more than the left.
Apparently easily fixed, a few shims are added between body and lens housing.

	If you have a focus problem with your 2.8, send it to Zak if you can
afford the service charge. The alignment rig he uses can locates faults very
quickly and accurately and may even clear up a few "live with its" before they
become disasters.
