Me too I just got 4 rolls of slides back and did not miss my focus on one shot.
Although i did a whole series of shots which should have gotten a faster shutter speed.
The lessen I've learned is: When I'M running a 60th with a 35mm lens does not
cut it.
(If it's them thats running who knows?)

I tend to not be a wide open fast lensed shooter. I like to give myself some leeway.

By the way i discovered the cure for a vertical alignment problem:
Put your camera in a dark closet for a month and a half. Take it out! Voilą!
	a perfectly focusing body!
