I love this lens so far.  Here is the focus test I did. I will prewarn you that I had trouble with this test because my son and cat thought that had to help...I'll try again later. f/4.0, 1/200, ISO 200  large version: http://farm4.static.flickr.com …62220542_e38fb229ff_b.jpg  what do you think? I am still getting used to my first L and IS lens. 40d |Xti w/Grip | Canon 70-200 f/4 L IS | Canon EF 35-80mm | Canon EFS 18-55 (Kit Lens) | Nifty Fifty |Tamron 28-75 | Alien Bee 400 | Super Sigma Flash | Light tent, backdrops, tripods, reflectors, meter, etc.

I had this with my 30D and I made triple-sure in the viewfinder that it was straight, only to find out after moving it to the computer that it wasn't. This tells me the sensor is not congruent with the viewfinder. Strange. "Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

It took a little tumble sometime before I noticed it, I assume that is why.
