Re: Canon Service
I ran off some pictures and fond they were a bit soft. I then did the micro adjust routine and fount the camera needed -10 on all lens to get it sharp.
Worth remembering if your pictures are not as sharp as expected.
This only applies to AF not manual focusef-rComment

Re: Canon Service
I took some photos of a coke can yesterday with my Tamron macro lens, auto focus was rubbish, had to manual focus it, but same lens on your 5d focusing was spot on...... just confirms what I always thought, my 50d is not focusing properly...............Originally posted by briansquibb View PostComment

Re: Canon Service
So is the AF much improved? I clean the camera myself but the focus is sometimes off with my 100 macro - I keep thinking about sending it for a check and wondered what they would charge......

Re: Canon Service
My 24-105 is already razor sharp with zero adjustment. It's only the 100 macro I worry about.
Looks like you have a red band running down the shadow side of the face and neck there Brian? Was there a reflector used? Might jujst have been in the wrong position.Last edited by EOS_Jim; 17-02-2011, 02:53.5DIII, 5DII with Grips| 24-70 f2.8L MkII | 24-105 f4L IS | 70-200 f2.8L IS MkII | 50 f/1.4 | 85 f1.8 | 100 f2.8 | 1.4x MkII | Tamron 17-35 f2.8-4 | 580EX II | 600EX RT | Stofen Diffuser | Manfroto 190 CF Tripod w/490RC2 | Epson R3000 | Lexmark CS 510 DE | Nova 5 AW | Mini Trekker AW | Lowepro x300AW | Lastolite Gear (inc HiLite 6x7) | Elinchrom Studio Gear & QuadrasComment
