Hi all,
I just wanted to post a quick note that I was having the DF hunt for focus a fair amount. Basically I could mount the camera on a tripod and point it at something fairly clear to focus on, and each press of the shutter would cause it to choose a different focus point, it seems to cycle through three imaginary focus points. A few attempts could get a decent focus.
It felt annoying to use, but after a while I realised something was wrong. A ton of images were focused behind the subject (which seems to be the second press)
Anyhow I carefully cleaned the mirror and the problem was solved as it seemed a little hazy. After that, focusing on the same object, same point it was bang on and would not hunt at all. Each shutter release simply did not change the focus and it remains fast and precise.
Just for the record in case anyone else has similar issues.
