Title: canon 24mm f2.8
Post by: streetshooter on September 04, 2008, 08:11:52 AM
I have been using the canon d20 for about 3 years.I just bought a new 24mm f2.8 lens.
I find a lot of my pictures are soft or out of focus.
I want to know if anybody has had similar problems?

Thanks.

I also have a 24/2.8 and I've used it on both a 20D and 40D with no problems. It's a pretty sharp lens. Perhaps a little soft in the corners when used wide open, but that's to be expected.

I guess you may have some sort of focus issue, though that's not common. You could try some of the tests that I suggest in this series of articles:
