So, I took the camera down to the local Canon Authorised Service Centre (Yes, here were far too many uses of “s” in that … we’re in the UK, where these things happen.). The local wizard declared that, yes, something was wrong. Was this Canon’s fault? The combination of lens and camera? Nobody knows, but, ya know, we’ll recalibrate everything “under warranty” because, well, Canon seems not to have done so at the point of manufacture.
Let’s call that, oh, around 10,000 photos which aren’t focused correctly. Soft focus? Well, that’s for those people who think that zits can be remedied by blurring the picture. Me, I prefer to be given the option, rather than having it forced upon me.
It just seems a shame to me that all of my photos in D.C. will be … feeble, weak, diffuse.
You think I should switch to Nikkon?
-D
I think it is very infuriating and you are taking it very well 🙂
