As a dad, grand dad, and the main picture taker in my family for the last 40+ years, let me just say thanks for all the info and insight this forum offers. I'm sure as the grandkids start playing more organized sports, I'll use this sight more and more, as I'm sure I'll still be the one taking the photo's that get hung on the walls of my children's homes.
Speaking of grandkids, I just purchased two new lenses for my Canon 60D body. Tamron's 70-200mm f2.8 G2 and 100-400mm f4.5-6.3, to use for indoor and outdoor sports. I've used both at a nearby lake the last couple of days photographing birds in flight (seagulls and such) and found that both lenses had trouble with auto focus. Manual focus works well but images are not as sharp as they should be. Anyway, I took the lenses back to the camera shop for inspection and they determined the front and rear glass needed to be calibrated. So they sent the lenses and camera body off to Tamron. My question is, how unusual is it to purchase two lenses and both suffer from the same issue? By the way, the 60D just got back from service at the Canon factory service center in N.J. two weeks earlier.

And again thanks for all the knowledge posted on this forum!
