I definitely agree with the comments on slowing down.
One way to drive that home is to use the manual settings. I find that my eyesite, even with a diopter isn't quite good enough in many lighting conditions to just "focus" manually - I really need the zoom up to focus correctly. Now, maybe that comes from years of using Nikon zooms and zooming to focus or maybe it is just that I am rusty at manual focusing. I'm going to try to figure that out over the next few weeks by focusing first and then zooming to see if I was accurateProbably will be quite humbling, at least at first.
I have often found that a zoom focused at one end of its range doesnt necessarily hold the same focus at the other. Maybe thats using cheap lenses.
Although I experienced this issue when using the onboard focus adjustment feature as well. You can get one end of the zoom perfect...then loose the other. I ended up setting at a happy medium between the two.
