For the price of this lens there shouldnt be any "issues". Well, it goes back today and hopefully by next week Ill have a new one to try. BUT, two strikes and its over for me. Canon 40D

I would say that if you are using TV 1/50, you should expect soft images. Dante

Well, if that's the case, and if your 400 prime is the reference point for the 120-300 assessment, I think you'll be doing strike II faster than you can say "Sigma". the canon 400 f5.6 is my reference point, is that the problem?
