I mean when you focus an object three feet away, the lens actually focused
to two feet. The problem is very consistant and repeatable. It seems that
the lower the color temp. (ambient light) the more it shifted.
Unfortunately, even under sunlight it still shift a little with both the kit
lens and my old version 40-150. The E-3 I once owned also had the same
problem with the 11-22 and 50-200 but it was ok with 14-45 and 40-150.
