Canon 20D with 70200 f4 lens

C

Hi, I've been testing my 20D with a Canon 70-200 f4 lens. I've found the results to be varying to say the least - especially at 200. Over 50 percent of my photos are soft/blurred/not focused when shooting in P or M modes... the results seem better in other modes ....
I've tested with a tripod also - but it hasn't really helped significantly.

Is it possible I have something configured incorrently that would affect these modes???????

I have a 17-85 EF-S and get great results....

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Have fun,
Ciaran.
 
My EF 70-200 f/4L is amazingly sharp with my 20D when the Sun is out. I went to the Malibu Lagoon and proceeded to take pictures 30 minutes after Sunset . The photos were horrid and blurry even with a tripod. I have the EF 24-70 f/2.8L lens and it performs wonderfully on low-light situations. I'm seriously thinking of selling my 70-200 and replacing it for the f/2.8L IS version.
 
Have you done the firmware update? There was a problem with earlier 20D's that caused a lockup. This was fixed on V1.0.5, but there is a newer version out now on Canons website. This may fix your lockup problems.
 
Hi Ren Soriano,

I own a 70-200 2.8 IS Lense. The results are great. I also have the 2x extender. The photos came out sharp.

With the 17-85mm I used it at night clubs under low light. and I was very happy with the photos. very clear.
