After playing with the Cfn settings and using the suggestions I got from everyone
here, my results were much better, but I noticed that they were soft, not
sharp at all, so I began to to play with the microadjust (#5) with my 70-200L 2.8 IS.
Still couldn't dial it in. Was going to send it to Canon, but wanted to see if there was a
better (i.e. less expensive) way. Did some research and found a lot of people using a
program called FoCal to help with focusing issues.
I went to their site (http://www.reikan.co.uk/focalweb/) and had a look. Very comprehensive.
Read some independent reviews and everyone loved it, so I bite the bullet
and bought the Pro version.
Setup and testing were very easy. The program suggested a MA of -9.
and asked me if it could automatically make the changes to -9, I agreed.
Took a few test shots with the 70-200IS and I was amazed, very
sharp. The true test will be on Tuesday when I shoot my son's soccer game.
But my initial impressions are nothing short of amazed, best $118 I've spent for
my cameras in a long time.
