[QUOTE="Chili, post: 1087945, member: 29892"] For the last three weeks or so I haven't been very happy with my shooting when reviewing all my shots post raceday. A lot of the shots are shots I feel I should have nailed and yet could come up with no logical reason for inconsistent results other than user error. I still had many very nice shots from this lens (Sigma 70-200 f2.8)so once again not wanting to be that guy pointing to his equipment I looked in the mirror and figured it was time to re-evaluate the misses for clues. I never got anywhere with that approach. Today I was doing some playing around with the camera during the sensor cleaning process and after one of the shots the viewfinder darkened considerably. Shutter speed changed from 1/250th to 4 seconds. No matter what I did nothing seemed to get me back to operating normally. Finally I changed to another lens and the camera operated perfectly, after much testing between all my lenses and the two 20D's I have, the common denominator was my 70-200 lens. Not sure what failed but the lens needs a trip to the service center. Of course this has to happen the Friday night of a long weekend with me leaving on the Monday for Millville where I'm supposed to have a Photo vest waiting for me to shoot the National. My only choices now are to head to a national with nothing longer than a 24-70 or purchase another lens to use while mine is away hopefully getting repaired. If nothing else it will help me rationalize my inconsistent results of late even if it's still me :laugh: [/QUOTE]
