Hi Lisa,
It should still be under canon warantee if amazon won’t take it back. For canon support you do it all through their website:
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=SupportIndexAct It was very painless. Good luck!

Hi Ariana- Love your site. I purchased the canon 1.8 lens this past september and I have to say I have the same issues. I am a beginner photographer, so I automatically thought it was user error. It can be frustrating. I bought it off Amazon. Do you think it is still under warranty? Who did you contact at Canon?

[...] have to thank Ariana for blogging about the issues she’d had with her “nifty-fifty.” It convinced me to send mine [...]

Seriously, this kid (and his mom) cannot take a bad picture. He is a beautiful boy.

Thanks heartartz! I do try to enjoy every possible moment.. already 8 months has flown by in a heartbeat.

Erin, thanks for the heads up, I had no idea Gap purchased a preexisting company. Figures! Good to know it’s nice stuff.. I hate that I can’t return it too a store if it doesn’t fit though like I can with Gap and old navy onlne purchases.. at least I think I can’t?

hi! love your blog! the photography stuff is sometimes way over my head, but it is absolutely fabulous nonetheless.

just wanted to tell you that Athleta has been around for awhile … i’m not exactly sure how long, but i’ve got about a zillion back issues of the catalog sitting around the house, so it’s been some time. i’m not sure how the purchase by gap will change their stuff, but up until now, it’s been pretty great! definitely a good motivator for getting back to the gym … or just looking good for going out to stroll around with jasper! :)

Your photo tutorials are great. Thank you.
They explain some problems I have had.
However the techniques are rather advanced for point and shoot camera users like me.
I just love seeing the GREAT pictures of Jasper.
You cannot take a bad picture of that cute model!!!!
Jasper is sooo adorable.
Enjoy every moment with Jasper… my baby turns 20 this Saturday. :(

Keri, how exciting!!! Too bad about the long wait time though. Let me know when it arrives!

Merks, wow, thank you so much! After I’m done with a tutorial I’m always like “well that made NO sense!” because I always feel I have to rush or else the file sizes get to ginormous to deal with. I’m so glad that’s not completely the case :)

I have now shared your blog with a lot of my friends and colleagues. One of my friends and I both agree that your photoshop tutorials are more intuitive than Adobe’s. I’ve learned so much from your blog, plus I LOVE seeing pics of how cute Jasper is.

I just ordered my 50mm and can’t wait for it to get here. (I heard they are on backorder from the Canon warehouse, so it could take a few weeks). I need to figure out how to change focus points. Even after reading the PW post, I am going to need some help:-)! I’m still in the way beginner league.

I love the photos you posted, though!
