Re: This is how bad it is:

I have  the same issue. Focus at far subjectd are blurry soft or out of focus. In close range like medium to portrait shot is ok. I don't understand this lens. Sent in to Canon and they restored and replaced parts, and change the mounding elements and usm electronics.  Still the same. Distant objects are out of focus.  Only mid range and portraits are ok. Still not fully functional If I wanted to shoot at a distances. I only see the results when i get in and see it on my computer. Holy 5hit.  It is horrible. I am considering of dropping the Canon line. This issue is beyond callous to have a lens like this, especially a prime lens, to have so much forum blog problems.  Not acceptable for for Canon.  I have other lens that does a better job and it's not even a prime lens. What damn shame. I know I use to get excellent images with this 135mm f2/L and now its trash.  I Someone please tell me what's going on.  This lens had been to the moon and back from Canon west coast and they still can't get it together.  Last toss up is to send it to another service center and see if they can resolve this.  Anyone. Pleeeese.  Give me your thoughts. I am about done.
