The 28 also has very slowly reacting aperture blades. Could this have something to do with it? I'm coming to terms with the fact that this is an economic loss, but I will probably ask someone to take a look at the lens anyway.
I'm used to using LV for correcting video focus and confirming absolute focus on many different objects and agree it's rather useful.

- it's the same on both bodies
- it's only infinity that's out
- the minimum distance is about the same as a sheet of A4 from the object to the back of the camera....

Are you using the cameras in manual mode with the custom function for aperture set for aperture ring use. Otherwise you will only shoot at f2.8 and have a shallow depth of field.
I assume from what you say, that you set to the infinity symbol on the lens and the pictures taken at this setting are blurred. If this is the case then you would have the same result on a manual film camera. Or are you focusing the lens by viewing through the viewfinder.
If it is not a depth of field problem, then suspect a lens assembly fault (as John suggests), or a displaced mirror in your camera.
I once dropped a SLR and my next films were all blurred. The mirror had come loose from its seating.
I think I'll take a look at minimum focussing distances next and work from there. At a risk of sounding stupid, how do I take the name ring off?
thanks for the help so far!

Tungsten light. Aimed at a paper on the floor, no 45 degrees, just simple test.
And it went wrong. Pretty much every time I suggested something to the system, changed it, figured I'd improved it - no, it was wrong. Every time. No logic to it. 2s shutter release, SR off, tripod used, simple wrong focus.
I will try it again on the balcony this evening (it's light until well past 10 anyway).

If you have questions, ask, as I also use it, along with UFRaw.
