Dave, My eye at the modern viewfinder screen could not detect that the photo was OOF; it only became apparent on a computer screen or when I zoomed in while chimping. It wasn't apparent very often during my ordinary photography, either, because I don't shoot very much close-up, wide-open or macro.
When the question was raised in response to a PESO I posted a few weeks ago, though, I set up a test using a target against an oblique patterned background. Yup, the camera was backfocusing. So, I set out to fix it. I took the day off today and spend the morning doing some macro shooting. What a difference to have the AF working accurately!
