Re: canon 55-250 IS blur edge, anyone?

Hi,

I sent my dad's 55-250 to a Canon repair centre because of similar behaviour.
It was far worse than I noticed with your copy, not only borders were bad.
The IS element has been replaced and some calibration was done.
The lens now performs very well, even the corners are fairly good.

Despite of what some others write (like ; what you get is what you pay for...) the 55-250 is (at least when you have a decent copy) optically pretty good.

Your copy does not look very bad, but I've seen better, like my dad's.

Regards,
Sandor.
