Hay /p/, How do I fix that problem where the focus on the viewfinder is different from the focus on the film? At the moment, I just resort to stepping down to f/2.0 to avoid it.

Are you sure it's the camera, and not your eyes? Try changing the diopter settings on your viewfinder.

Also, 1.4 has a very narrow plane of focus. It's pretty tough to get things in focus properly.

Try using a tripod, tape measure, and the distance markings on the lens to test this for sure. Remember to measure from the film plane marking on top of the camera.

I dont know about canons, but on nikons there is a set screw that can adjust the mirror to the proper distance from the focusing screen so that the viewfinder image is in focus with the focus on the film. But before you do that, make sure your diopter is set properly.
