As a result of my posts listing the equipment I use, I have had several emails from photographers recently asking how I overcome problems they are having with backfocus issues. I have learned from the few years of experience with my DSLR equipment, that what may at first have appeared to be backfocus problems with certain lenses I used (or cameras) was to inconsistent to be that - - - the same gear would also make dead on accurately focused images. I just learned instinctively what to look for when shooting, and camera and lens settings where these issues were minimized.
At any rate - the questions got me digging into some research this morning, and I came across the perfect logic to what I had experienced with wrong areas getting noticed and being focused on - and also why methods I ended up becoming aware of and using, worked. Here is an interesting article related to Nikon 11 point AF sensors - but may be similar with Canon cameras (so even for those hating Nikon, it is still a good read):
Pertinent info is under the subtitle "AREN'T THE AF SENSORS THE SAME SIZE AS THE VIEWFINDER'S AF BRACKETS?"
