Hi all,
Quick update. I believe Audii might be correct. The front and rear standards are out of alignment. I put some engineering calipers on the camera and did some measurements and it appears to be out. Not by much, but enough so that when you are shifted to one side, it could amplify the problem. I also redid my tests with a second longer lens, and did a side by side comparing with the 72 in the same scene, and sure enough, it goes out in exactly the same way. It was just harder to see since due to the image magnification in the longer lens I didn’t picking up on it when I first got the camera. The wider 72 makes it a lot easier to see there’s a problem.
Not sure what a good fix is as it appears to be in the manufacture/assembly of the camera itself, but am looking into it.
