I have a Canon 7D and a 70-200 f/4 IS L, and lately (well, at least since around the start of the pandemic) I've been noticing that I can't shoot anything sharp with it for the life of me. But it seems like more than just being out of focus. In fact, images look more like something from a Holga or one of those toy cameras with deliberate irregularities.

This image is a good example of the issue.

Anyone seen anything similar, and have an idea as to the cause?

Canon 7D / 1/3200s / f4 / ISO 800

When I used the same lens on my 90D I had similar issues, I changed the Focus Point.. Set your camera/Lens up on a solid surface, use the timer and see how the image comes out.. If that's not in focus, check to see if Focus is an issue with other Canon Lenses, depending on the result it might mean a trip to the Canon Mother Ship ~ possibly both Camera & Lens..   L
