Just as a thought experiment: how can a camera be unsharp?

- the sensor is not parallel to the virtual film plane
- the sensor is not on the virtual film plane
- the sensor glass is messing up the light somehow

- the rangefinder is off, but then fiddling with it will produce some sharp
photos.

Any other possibilities? Corrupted firmware?

Have you tried shooting wide open on a slanted ruler on the ground? If
anything is in focus, it will show?
