I was wondering (this is a bit off topic)...but what kind of baby bath tub do you have? It looks so spacious...the one we have for our little one makes him look squished and he's got no space to move in it anymore and I can't seem to find one that looks bigger!

I also wanted to say that I have the Tamron 17-50 you listed on your wish list and I LOVE It. It's been a go to lens for me for a few years. I love the wide angle in our tiny house.

You remind me that I should have emphasized more in this post that wide open it's extremely important to make sure one of your focus points is over an eye whether you are using manual focus point select or auto focus point select.. if not, all bets are off focus wise ;) Kelsey, I hope you love your new lens!

You go online to canon's website and fill out a repair request and they send you an email with your authorization # and instructions on how to send it. You pay to send it whatever UPS or fedex charges to send it to the repair center nearest you. That's all! I'm going to try to send mine tomorrow. Will keep everyone posted. Anne marie,

(we just bought a house so i am low on funds at this point. it would be nice to get an avg for what you paid. if you paid). oh and post about how much better it is when you get it back :o) you know. i am so glad you posted this because i think my canon 50mm 1.4 has a soft focus. sometimes it’s sharp sometimes it isn’t. i will have to do the focus test. i bought my lens off amazon but from B&H on amazon. when you return your lens to be re calibrated or whatever they do with it. do you just send it to canon or back to the place you got it? mine is still in warranty too. how much did you have to pay to send it etc?

Let me know if you send it in if it's better when it comes back. Sarah, you should definitely upgrade, and sooner rather than later. If I knew then (when Jasper was born) what I know now I would have so many wonderful newborn pictures. There's a learning curve with this stuff and it's better to be ready for baby than just learning like I did. Re the Ikea dresser: it's awesome. Totally worth the trip! Jenn, glad I could help!
