Okay, I have been working with the lens and have found that f2.0 is the widest I can go to get consistent tack sharp eyes. But I'm still going to check the calibration. This is from about 5 feet away and the eye on camera right is what I was aiming for and got it. Oops, it looks a bit dark on this post. Second one is about 10 feet away at f2.0

Glad you found an effective answer. With a fast lens, it’s often helpful to stop down just a little (assuming you have the light) for max sharpness, and to provide just a little more DOF and room for AF error without significantly affecting subject to background isolation or bokeh.

My old Nikon FM had a "split image" for focusing.
Of course it was manual focus, but it was always accurate.
I wish I had that feature on my digital cameras.
Anyway GR it looks to me like the focus is a bit close.

your focus actually is:
