Time to decide...

EF-S 55-250 f/4-5.6 IS

     Ever since I'd discovered that my 55-250 IS was back focusing, I've had these nagging thoughts bouncing around in my head every time I shoot a picture that seems soft using this lens.  And this is in comparison to other pictures from this lens I've seen on many forums.  Its driving me nuts because I keep second guessing myself.  Is it me?  Did I not set up the shot correctly to get enough shutter speed so that it would not blur?  Sigh.  Compounding the problem is the fact that not all of the pictures are soft.  But most of them are.

Obvious back focus at 55 mm

     So, I'm thinking, to settle this once and for all, I should send the lens in to Canon for a check, and hopefully it will come back to me tuned to the sharpness I expect from this lens.  So, tomorrow morning, I shall be the first customer at the Canon After Sales office at Peremba Square.  If my experience sending in my 50 mm f/1.8 Mk II is anything to go by, I can look forward to receiving my lens this Friday.

     I'll put in an update after I get back the lens.
