@Remirath - Was this a chip that you installed yourself? The mechanical tolerances are quite close, there may just have been too tight a fit to the camera body? I've had that problem myself.
@tbc - There is a setting on the chip that will only allow it to fire when focus is confirmed, though I can't remember offhand exactly how to toggle it through the chip's archaic programming interface. You can also adjust for front/back focus (in rather coarse increments, though, as far as I can tell). I have no idea why the contrast should be reduced, though, I can't see any way the chip should affect the optical qualities of the lens except through some kind of internal light scattering.
