<p style="font-size:12px;font-family:Helvetica;">...i live in this fantasy world where the Canon reps read this and immediately jump in to leave the very important message here that…. "why yes we now know about our forgetful designer, a very sad case of alzheimers you know(we don't like to our let people go) and we have a fix for the problem that has been let through…. we've rushed out a free repair worldwide to this impossible focus shift problem and no new lens sold will be like this"….

<p style="font-size:12px;font-family:Helvetica;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;font-family:Helvetica;">but so far this is only my delusion …. maybe someday soon it will come true and people will regain confidence that the lens they buy will be of the quality that they had hoped for - i'll update you all on any future movement in this direction
