As I mentioned yesterday I was testing the 24-105 with the 300D to confirm that it had a problem... and I did. Sort of. What bothered me is that the problem was so intermittent and you can hardly rock up to the service centre and say "Hey, this lens is stuffed some of the time". So I took it out for some further tests today.
I still can't get it to fail in a "do this and you'll get the error" way, but it's frequent enough that I can't see how the service centre won't be able to see it for themselves.
As with yesterday I was just shooting easy targets today. A lot of the shots failed, but this is one that turned out. Normally I might emphasise the burst of sunlight on the golden leaves, but looking at how many (more) hundred dollars in repairs? I think I'll focus on the wilting leaves at the back, sigh...
Helluvaway to celebrate finally getting to 6 figures in my total views number on my PBase home page.
