I know the 50mm primes haven't got a very close minimum focus distance..is it possible you were too close and camera didn't lock focus properly?..I have done this a few times with my 50mm 1.8

i re took the same creatures earlier,this time i used the 85 mm instead of the 50 mm.i also altered the focus lock from c to something else  these are definatly an improvement on the focusing issues

This is just what I need. A geeky thread on camera issues.
Keep talking lads. I'm going to follow this one.
Please explain more on what you are doing though Jamie. Altering the focus from C to 'something else' doesn't help me.

Jamie the "C" setting is for continuous servo focus ideal for when tracking moving objects I.E birds in flight or sports events..not good for static subjects..
