I don't focus with a particularly powerful loupe. I don't particularly want to go through too much nitpicking if the problem is just user error and poor technique. Although it's probably a good idea to go through the nitpicking anyway, for the experience.
If you're familiar with the Chamonix you'll know it's pretty easy to have the standards not totally parallel. It's pretty free and loose. I do have vernier calipers though, so I could check it when doing testing. If that's the cause I can deal with it.
