Slightly ff. Calibration won't help you much.
I assume you used VF to autofocus right?
LF is different. Anyone has problem with AF, you can give LF a try. :wave:

I am going to take some pictures. We can check 100% crops and verify. If it is not good, I would like to get the replacement. Did you notice any little noise or clicks during AF wide open.
