Shouldn't have done that!) I bought a 550D and EF 18-135. After 24 hours (actually, after 15 minutes) it was blindingly obvious that an old 20D and a new 550D simply do not compare. The 550 and the EF lens were returned to the supplier the next day. Major disappointment. I want my old 20D back!!Nigelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500047166421198691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009643355982117276.post-31263725521872437192011-05-01T17:01:08.472+01:002011-05-01T17:01:08.472+01:00James.

We'll talk when I'm next up; some cameras let you dial in this, and I have a device which helps you determine the amount of correction (which varies from close focus points to far ones!) look up on the web about front/back focusing. A good site is LensAlign.com. HTH. NigeNIGEL ALLEN's Official Airgun Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12284395955772330907noreply@blogger.com
