    Canon replaced a new one for me. And test results show at F4, its only a little bit sharper. Still front/back focus from f5.6 to f8.0 The canon man said he did his own focus test and found it to be spot on. I just accept the new lens as i think this is the way it is.

    My 550D was there with my 70-200. They calibrated to my 550D Results after Service 100% crop focus at the center F4. Focus seems right but its very soft F5.6 Back focus F8 heavy back focus All in all, really angry at CSC. I need to bring down the chart to test next time.

    thanks MWP. cant believe they just did a focus calibration only. at F4 its still soft. and back focus at 5.6 and f8. im guessing the softness of f4 is affect the back focus at 5.6 and 8 because the cam focuses at largest aperture.

    Hi everybody. I have sent my 70-200 and 550D down to CSC. I tried explaining to the lady but she seems like ???. I know its quite complicated. hopefully the engineers can find out the problem by himself. The lady said they will do a calibration. But i told her that it needs more than a...

    6) EF 50mm 1.8 @ F4 Few problems i suspect. 1) There is a bit of front/back focusing because my MF is sharper than AF. 2)This lens is soft at F4. The result F4 MF shows it is not close the 50mm 1.8 @ f4. (i know 70-200 can come very close to 50mm at F4.) 3)F8 AF is blur because I believe...

    but hey, the 70-200mm f4 IS is famous of having prime quality. but matching my 50mm @ 1.8 is surely not right. i know very well many lens are soft wide open. im sure this is Not the case for 70-200mm f4 IS. because i read user reviews. even digital-picture has samples showing it is a bit...
