I think this might be a problem with the photographer, but this must be a really, really bad photographer. He must be a "shoulder man", as some of the fuzzy shots seem to have an in-focus shoulder.

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 of 1.5, what are you expecting? >Hmmm....impressive, isn't it? > >Two more, >http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2004/0707/295.jpg at f2 This one looks like the focus is on the lips, rather than on the eyes.
