UPDATE
The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being. I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure. ------------------------------------------------------------

Just curious to hear about people's experiences using the 70-200mm 2.8 IS II at 200mm when focused at infinity.
I'm struggling the get decently sharp shots when shooting with this FL and distance - images lack the crispness that I get when using a shorter focal length, or with closer focus distances.
Initially thought it was my technique and/or AF back or front focus, but did a little test the other night shooting the moon, and after locking the lens off on the tripod, using LV to focus, and shooting with mirror up and delay mode (and stopping down to both f/4 and f/5.6) was still underwhelmed with the results.
Just wondering is this is generally considered a weak area of this lens, or whether I maybe need to get Canon to take a look at my copy?
Cheers,
d.
