I think I'll pass, it has known focus problems

He focussed using the focus ring, then focusses using the secondary button, then took the shot. But I could see the camera move between focus and taking the shot when he did this.
"look, its out of focus".......
As there was nothing wrong with the lens, I checked thoroughly, as did the dealer, it was the same lens - no switching and as I kind of work for the same company as this guy, and he was so miserable, I refunded. (minus fee)
As I said, we went to local dealer, and I stayed after he left. The dealer was chuckling, and said that half the "returns" they get with L primes are people with focus charts complaining about back focus.
Most, have taken few actual shots in daylight, and are taking low light shots in the evening at home to "check the lens".
They get sent to canon, and suprise, suprise, no issue.
Your just to soft.. I would have told him where to go after 4 days.
And this focus test is supposed to help people! It causes no end of upset for both photographers, dealers and manufacturers. And as a direct result this guy has lost out on one of the finest primes known to man
Yeah I am. I started off with "no way" - but couldn't be a b@stard. Basically, there is nothing wrong with the lens, but he thinks there is. He is really stressed as this is a lot of money. I know I can sell it on, so I saw no point in leaving this guy in misery.
