Looking at the two sets of photos you have posted Bob, I don't see too much wrong with the focus in the first set but perhaps, because the light was poor you have used noise reduction that has smoothed out detail in one or two ? Perhaps the shutter speed was too low for hand holding or perhaps with the likes of the Bittern the head moved.With the second batch there are so many twigs/branches/blades of grass in the way that unless you used the single point spot AF there is every chance you'll pick up the wrong target. Of course in this mode and single point all the custom AF modes are irrelevant.
Good light always produces more detail and maybe some people are over anxious at producing prize winning shots on their first outings.
I must admit I have never had focus issues with any lenses I have owned, either Canon or Nikon, but they must exist otherwise the micro adjust feature wouldn't be included. I don't see why a n FX camera would focus any better than a crop body either although the more MP's you have I guess the smaller the margin of error.
