I hope you got enough shots in focus to save the event.
1) Thanks for your concern; yes, I took alternates of these photos on my 5D2\'s, because I am a Canon shooter, and therefore I don\'t trust my gear.
2) This camera had already been back to Canon for focussing inconsistency, and was given a clean bill of health.
3) Canon does not provide a manual focus wysiwyg screen for this camera, so you the fake depth of field provided by the stock screen means that significant focus failure can easily go unnoticed until you get home.
4) I have just exchanged my 7D for a new one, to see if this one can perform the simple function of focussing automatically, a crucial feature since no useful manual focus screen is available.
It\'s been a while, brainiac.
Yes - it has. Please email me if you wish to know why I am no longer contributing regularly to this site, since talking openly about it here is liable to get me banned.
