Had my EF 28-135 IS recalibrated a couple weeks or so ago and finally got to a duck yesterday. C&C is appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks guys. Now that it more up to par it hardly comes off the camera. At least until I can afford the 17-40 L. I'm actually enjoying using this lens now.

Hey Herb, mind telling what the cost for re-calibration was? I just had my 100-400L done, [$193 + shipping], and it's a whole different lens. I think my 28-135 needs it too. I like the lens, but now that I know what to look for, I see it's soft.

Was your 100-400 under warranty?

Great shot! I have been singing the praises of my 28-135, against the background of constant claims of softness. I am just glad that mine is sharp without having to have it recalibrated!

Mine was under warranty so I signed it up on the Irvine Canon site then sent it in (Insured, for about $12 USD). 10 days later I had it back and so far seems to be doing what it was intended to do.

At first I thought it was just me not knowing how to use the IS but eventualy did a bit of testing of my own and found that it was also focusing about 2 inches in front of where the focus point was aimed.
