It certainly isn't compulsory for anyone to read the previous posts to participate, obviously, but some of you would sure add a lot of credibility to what you have to say if you'd use google first to confirm that you know what you're talking about. For instance, if you google 'micro adjusting a Canon 50d' you'd get a few over 31,000 hits telling you all about it. The very first hit google returns tells you how to do it.

The image you posted is not only somewhat out of focus, it is also hazy, almost like you were shooting through frosted glass. I would try a back focussing test to see if that is the problem. I don't believe you have autofocus fine adjustment on your camera, but the test will tell you if that is the problem. Its a shame when you rent a lens to see if you want to buy one and you get a bad copy.


OK. I've been corrected and chastised. Do an auto focus fine tune on your camera and test it again.
