I'm dlssapointed you said that mr. Sock as I've just ordered a Canon 15-85! l was Hoping you were going to Say It was rubbish and to get the canon :p

Thanks, the extra width does come in handy, it's good to get a reply from someone that has had both lenses too. I'm definitely leaning towards the 15-85 again!

Thanks for the replies. I keep swaying back and forth on which lens would be best for me, slightly faster or more range. Im not sure about the IQ between the two either. I have been slightly put off buying another used lens too, due to the issues with the last one.

Help! I'm trying to decide between a new Sigma 17-70 f/2.8-4 C and a used Canon 15-85 f/3.5-5.6. I originally bought a used Canon 15-85 which was sent back due to having fungus. When i had the lens i did a few comparison shots against the kit 18-55 and to be honest it wasn't as good as i had...

So i sent the lens of on Saturday, and received the refund today, even though the seller hasn't received it yet. I'm quite impressed with eBay on this matter. The seller didn't respond to my returns request while it was open, claiming they were on holiday. They also tried to get me to send the...

I'm hoping that I will get my money back, I paid over £300 so it wasn't that great a price. Is the prepaid label tracked and insured?

That's interesting, hopefully they will have to pay. It's on the inside.

Yeah it is a hassle and it would be easier just to keep it, so you do think shall i just keep it? But it's only going to get worse so i'm definitely trying to get my money back.

Yeah i have done, i just hope they back me up.

So i bought a Canon 15-85 described as mint on eBay, and picked it up from the Post Office today. Unwrapped it from the well packaged box, and first impressions were all good. Took the lens cover off and noticed the light reflecting off a funky pattern inside the lens. I took a guess and googled...

:plusone: I also like to have a look at the exif data to see what lens and settings have been used. :)

The replies are back! This forum is trying to make me look even more silly! There was only 1 reply a minute ago! :cuckoo:

What happened to all the replies :thinking: Have i been dreaming about being on this forum? :cuckoo: Anyway, i gave the focus chart which i dreamed up a try and funnily enough it was just me being a numpty :bang: Thanks for all the help guys, you stopped me from making a fool of myself...

Thanks for the good advice guys, i will be pulling out the tripod, printing the chart off and giving it a go later on. I'm actually hoping it's a dodgy lens as i've ended up with completely oof portraits before :p (which i'm sure would have been fine with the 18-55 - although it does have...
