Jim,

Do you focus and stop at first pass of lining up the image, or do you "seesaw" as another person on the LUG stated as needed on the R system?  I'm not sure it makes a difference, but I thought this was discussed some months ago.  Like Mikiro, I have trouble getting sharp images at f1.4, mainly  when using the subject's  "forward eye" as the focus point.
