Canon 70-200mm IS L 2.8 USM.
I note the serial numbers, incase it point to a time or factory with poor quality control, and others having similar problems.
Initially I used the lens on my 1st 350D, and was immedialy impressed with the colour & contrast, but the real sharpness always lacked. In the end I bought a 70-300 IS also and another 350D body, which was overexposing and also send back[SN=0530407472].
The 70-300 IS was way sharper.
I proved on tripod that the 70-200 IS cannot take a sharper picture under excact same conditions and same settings as 70-300 IS on tripod with IS off or on or handheld.
One of the 1st things I noticed was the 70-200 IS, the tripod never helped me at all.
I later noticed that on the 70-200 IS, the centre of the spot on wich I focussed, shift up or down, while it does not happen on the 70-300 IS on same tripod, same situation, same height. I thought maybe this is a clue as to the lens problem.
Presently it is with Canon, and I hope I get something back that works properly as it should, I can't wait.
The serial nr on this lens is: SN-290577
