Infinity Focus is not quite right

[gorbas]

Try something further away. One common definition of "infinity" for photographic pursposes is 1000x - 1500x the focal length of the lens.

Can you please point me to source of this info?

...means that the problem you are having is not within any lens, but the issue of focus 'mismatch' (between the viewfinder and the focal plane)

Except that @mehguy has not yet determined if this exists. As far as I can tell, he hasn't encountered any issue with out of focus photos.
He has simply noted a small discrepancy between the markings on the lenses, and his estimate of distances, when the viewfinder indicates the subject is in focus.

Yes, as far as we know the camera might be functioning perfectly. The viewfinder focus aids might be perfectly calibrated to render an in-focus image on the film when the viewfinder says the image is in focus. We have no confirmation if this is true or not.
