Focus at infinity issues...
Hello
Been lurking here and not contributing for a while. Just went out on a whale watching trip friday and took the 50D with the old 80-200 f2.8 magic drainpipe out. Had some strange issues with oof shots when shooting bursts at or near infinity. Results were... variable. Focus just seemed to be all over the place. I couldn't get consistent shots at 200 at infinity, so I was shooting wider than I wanted to. My question is, what the hell is going wrong here? Send the lens in for service? Send the body in for service? Both? I was shooting from a rolling ship in 2-5ft waves for the whale shots, but they were pretty fast shots.
Ok-ish shot for a 4x6 for the kids
185mm f4.5 1/250

Holy crap, with a bit more cleanup, crop and zoom this is a winner (for a hack like me)
