I have looked and cannot find anything on google or this forum to address this issue..
I just acquired my 50mm a few months ago, and since then I have still not mastered this issue:
D40 only has 3 focus options: Closest subject (camera sets focal point for you); Dynamic Area - I can toggle between the 3 sensors; and Single Area.
Generally I keep my camera in Dynamic area when I have the 50mm on. My problem is that when I stop to an f/2.8 or bigger (ie down to a 1.8) my image focus point is about 1" above where I actually wanted the focus to be. In other words; if i'm doing a close up of filling my view with the subjects face the focal spot is on the forhead not the eyes....
Do you think this is an issue for my newbieness to the nifty fifty; or could this just be a cam issue? Sensor is clean; lens works great on smaller aper f/10 (mostly for when I need to take that step back a few feet to get the full frame of the subject) etc but when i start opening it up I can't get there...
