Nope. I haven't. When focus is correct in the viewfinder, it's
correct on the film, too. There are few times when I even look
at the distance scale on the lens, unless I'm manually going to
use a hyperfocal distance to get max DOF for some kind of action
shot or maybe a landscape sort of a tableau. If the viewfinder
doesn't agree with the film, it's time to get the camera
repaired.
