^Nice John. Fall hasn't been impressive for me at all.

Oct 31, 2011 16:41 | #752 I have a basically brand new one that I love the photos it produces, but the focal length just isnt for me. Such a wonderful lens, shoot me a pm if you are looking for one. Jake http://www.jakegregoirephotography.com

This thing has a wicked bad front focus on the focus confirm chip. Here it is with 0 MA focus on the 6:
WOW not even close. I tried several shots and all had the same result. Here it is with + 20 MA Focus on the 6:
Much better but still not correct. Looks like it would need +25 or +30 to be correct which unfortunately is beyond the 7D's abilities. Question is should I pay to send my new 1300 dollar lens to zeiss or should it just go back to B+H? My Humble Gear List

I did take it out but unfortunately everything was out of focus (well some of the stuff in front of my subjects was in focus). The first picture is just an example. I only used the ruler to diagnose the problem. My Humble Gear List

Yeah I think you are right. I met a guy in a park using one and he let me try it (while he tried my 70-300L) and that copy was perfect too. Almost as easy as focusing the C/y Zeiss 28 F2.8 (easiest focusing MF lens ever). My Humble Gear List

It's easier to return it and get another copy. No sense in going through all that hassle to MA it.
