And I sure hope you are all going to apply these same critical
facilities to the "Digital M" when it is introduced in 2044. ;-)

Looks more like a focusing error than a lens fault to me.

OK, I saw this last. Definitely the person misfocused on the lips or 
something instead of the eyes. Your point is?

Recall that the baselength is something like 38mm and with a crop factor

1.5, what are you expecting?

This one looks like the focus is on the lips, rather than on the eyes.
So 
it's misfocused? What does it have to do with the camera or the lens?
