Canon EF 70-200 f/4 L USM

SOLD AT 2005-07!!!

This is my telezoom. Due to 1.6 crop factor mainly used for landscape photography. My lens had backfocusing on wide end. I was idiot and believed the web forum gurus who said "It's Canon lens it cannot have focusing problems" / "Go outside testing in real situations instead shooting focus targets" / "It's because your technique". Well, after calibration at Canon it doesn't have focus problems on wide end. I would say anyone who has focusing problems with this lens: test with proper target in good lightning and if it's really backfocusing then send for calibration. Quite many of 70-200 F4 lenses are backfocusing. Naturally majority of these lenses focus properly but if your lens focuses correctly it doesn't mean that all these lenses focus correctly, please remember that writing to web forums. Other than backfocus I don't haven't had any problems with the lens, it's sharp and colors & contrast are on the usual Canon L-level.
