hello.
i have a H2 body with P30+ phase back. recently i bought a secondhand H1 and i noticed that the manual focus was off. after playing with the focusing screen height with no success i sent it into hasselblad to get it adjusted. when it came back i tested it again and found (again) a disparity between auto focus and manual focus. the camera is accurate when auto focused, but when i manually focus and shoot (i am using a tripod and mirror lock up) the focus is off. i sent it back to hasselblad again and it has come back and i have tested it. now i am getting inconsistent results...........im going a little crazy now.
i have tested the H2 during this time and it was focusing fine in manual, as well as auto.
has anyone had this problem? i am wondering if my testing methods are adding to my inconsistent results.

This may be obvious, but did you adjust the diopter on the prism viewfinder? When I first got mine, I could not understand why the images seemed slightly soft when I looked through the viewfinder. About five minutes later, I had the slap-myself-on-the-forehead aha! moment.

yes, i have adjusted the diopter. the problem is the focus on the captured images.
