Re-calibrated

[sony23]

I dont know if you remember when I was having trouble with this lense ( Canon 70-200 L IS ) a couple of weeks ago well I just got it back from Canon and it is great.

The picture has had no post processing done to them at all, straight from the camera jpg compression 8 plus a 100% crop.

what do you think.

ps forgot to say handheld 110mm

yeah id be interested in the cost as well..
nice pics !

[sony23]

Hi Dan, Felix, no it didn't cost me anything, it was only 2 weeks old so it was still under warranty, I had my 20d and a 28-135 calibrated by canon a couple of weeks after getting them because the IS module and AF stopped working, then I got this lense and it was worse than the 28-135 so I sent it in to canon, I got it back a week later.

VERY nice:)

Was the center focus point used? It looks like it caught the front curve of the tank pinstriping-
If so it's very accurate now!

[sony23]

Hi Ron, yes center point was used and you are right see.

thats quick....i really hope its that quick around here...might be an extra week because i have to mail it, but i could deal with 2 weeks..just not something like 7

[sony23]

Will a tip for you, I said to them when I got to canon if there was any chance I get it back by next weekend as I had a gig on, and they put it down as post on thursday urgent on the repair slip. Received it on the Friday morning.

hope that helps.
