Any E-mount Nikon G 14-24 shooters?

Just tried my 14-24 on the a6000 and it wont focus to infinity at 14mm. :(
 
Its not slightly off either, its miles off. High res: http://1drv.ms/1hTnLyT (right click view original)
 
Also weird curvy field of focus on the 35mm f1.4, which you can also see a little in the 55-210 kit lens.  I'm hoping this is an issue with the a6000, rather than with my lens (which does focus to infinity on my d800).

I've shot with Nikon's 16-35mm VR f/4 on my NEX5-R coupled with a Metabones Nikon G to E-mount Speedbooster.

 

I can confirm that infinity focus does not lie at infinity with that lens either: When I focus the lens towards infinity it hits the infinity focus before the infinity mark, and when you continue turning it to infinity everything goes out of focus.

 

I've had som shots go out of focus due to this before I noticed it, and also afterwards when forgetting about this behaviour. Not an issue with Speedbooster and this lens as long as you remember how it behaves.

 

The lens hits infinity at the infinity mark on the D800.

 

So, if you haven't tried pulling the lens a little bit back from infinity focus mark, try it. Hopefully your infinity focus is off in the same direction.

 

EDIT:

Checked more of your shots other than the first image. Yours is surely off in the wrong direction. What I'd do: I'd first try the speedbooster + lens on another camera (Nex-*) to see if is also off in the same way there. I also suspect it's the adapter you use.
