Hi C.H.
Thanks for your reply.
I only have DZ lenses, so that should not be the problem. The problem
arose with at least 2 of my 4 lenses.
I will check focus problems shortly with camera on tripod (IS off) and
with a sheet of paper with pattern on it at an angle of 45 degrees. I
will post the results.
Yet the cause of the problem is still not known.
