[QUOTE="jesshopes, post: 174584, member: 15368"] Well, first-of-all I'm a she not a he. :) No, I haven't cleaned the contacts but I've never gotten good images...even right after I took it out of the box. Honestly I always assumed it was user error...that I was just missing something with this lens but I am more and more convinced that the lens is faulty. It's going to the camera shop this week (hopefully) so they can try it on one of their cameras and confirm my suspicion. I'm not the world's best photographer but I have managed to learn how to get good...even great...images from all of my other lenses. I just don't believe that I could be missing something so major. It's frustrating because when I look at the images I see the potential for greatness...they just are not sharp. Sometimes they are downright blurry. I worked with that lens for an hour on Friday and didn't get good results. I'd love to post a pic wit data...but I don't know how. I asked earlier but didn't see a response. Thanks for all of the suggestions. I tried several of them. [/QUOTE]
