Is it camera shake (I tend to shoot at a minimum of 1/1000th sec)? Often I need an Iso of 400 to make that shutter speed. Is it that the lens isn't focussing on target correctly? Focussing at 200mm @f2.8 needs to be very precise because of the very narrow depth of field. It's also possible that the lens is back or front focussing too. I had to drop mine off to Sigma for an AF calibration because mine looked soft, until I noticed that my lens was focussing about 2 inches in front the target. It's fine now and spot on, but sometimes I double focus, just to make sure.

I haven't tried the newer versions of Velvia much. I used tons of the old Velvia 50 though. I ran a single roll of Velvia 100 when it first came out and i wasn't that impressed with it. I've heared that Fuji have re-released a 50 version, but I don't know what that is like.

A 1D with a 70-200mm LIS screems of a press hack, but an 85mm f1.8 on a 5D looks like "some guy with a camera". Having a spot meter is a good thing, but no AF linked spot or multi spot is a bit lame. 3 fps is a tad pedestrian, but it's lag isn't far off a 1D and it's viewfinder black out time is pretty fast too. It's all swings and roundabouts. I'm still on the look out for a S/H 20D, the 1.6x crop is usefull for birding.

And it keeps me out of EF-S and APS-C territory, as much as I love the 20D. It'd be a great backup body, if the crop wasn't there. I promised myself that once I made the switch to full-frame digital, I wasn't going back.
