Going into the big thaw so one more sq in snow shot:-)
Going to be and interesting couple weeks as I try and survive w/o my 400 f5.6L, whaaa, it along with the 30D are going into Canon to get a tune up. The 30D has been a bit off and on Friday Canon Tech had me do a reset to see if it fixed things, it helped to a degree. They also suggested I send both in to get them recalibrated, a tune up for the 400 before she goes out of warranty and a good going over of the 30D. The high point is after doing the reset it was suggested I do the same on the 20D and it put the old girl right back in perfect form. Yippee! I always have doubts and always look to myself before I think equipment issues so I've been on the fence about sending them in, but equipment issues do happen. However the clincher was yesterday when Mr RTH came through and w/o a thought I turned the 20D with the 200 on him and took 7 perfect (color is washed since I wasn't really set EC wise) tack sharp BIF shots. The long and the short of it, that is all that was needed to cement that the AF system on the 30D is off and has been getting worse or much more inconsistent. Will be interesting to see how this all shakes out.
