Anyone experienced a Lens that works vertically not horizontally

I have a 70-200 f2.8 IS USM II coupled with a 60D camera.  The Lens was dropped (fell out of the truck) and hit the pavement.  I take sports/action pics and since then when I take pics "veritcally" (turning camera sideways for a full length shot) the pics are fine - no issues with the lens focusing or anything.  However, when I take pic horizontally, they look like I added a vignette type feature where the exact center point is in focus and then it blurs as it goes outward.  It is more pronounced when extending to 200mm versus 70mm.
Any idea what this may be and if a fix is even possible (costly or not?) and why it is damaged vertically and not horizontally?
All feedback welcome!!
Thank you.

You'll have to send the lens in and get it looked at, to get any idea if it's repairable and/or what the cost might be.
It sounds as if some of the elements or groups in the lens are loose or decentered badly, or another part is loose inside.
I'd suspect the group that operates the IS, since that operates on vertical and horizontal axes. If one is damaged due to the hard fall, it might only cause problems in one orientation. It also might be a part knocked loose and flopping around inside, that drops into the light path when the lens is in one orientation, but falls back out of the way when in the other orientation. AFAIK (and I certainly have never disassembled one of those lenses and studied how it works, so this is just a guess), any decentering or slippage of most of the other elements and groups would effect the lens in all orientations.

  • HP PSC 2355 Has anyone found a solution that worked ?

    Re: HP PSC 2355 all in one
    Has anyone found a solution that worked?
    This printer used to work fine with Tiger – after a lot of headaches setting it up. Seemingly, after downloading a latest 10.4 up-grade, I lost all functions with this 3 in 1 printer. I’ve done all the procedures on the HP site, purged everything HP on my computer relating to applications, and re-installed the software. However, the printer does not show up on the ‘Printer List’ in the ‘Printer Setup Utility. Error message stating that ‘No default Device Detected’ or, Error ‘Sorry, scanner could not be initialized. (Scanner not found.)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Anyone have a slideshow that works in both IE8 and Firefox?

    I have tried the widgets offered by Adobe. They don't work in IE8 and I have tried all the fixes from the Adobe Labs.
    Doctype....If I change the doctype as recommended, then I get a white outlined box in the middle of the photos which I can't remove. If I change the doctype, then the slideshow won't work in Firefox.
    Meta...If I add the meta line as suggested, no change at all.
    Outline remove....I saw this on the forums, but could not find the line in any of the CSS code.
    Other slideshows...I have tried downloading Easy Rotator and can't register and when I go to their website - can't put in a support ticket. Obviously they have problems running their business so I would like to find something and someone simple if possible that works!
    Any one have any recommendations?  I just need a very simple straightforward slideshow - nothing fancy - for my online catalog.
    Thanks!
    Janet

    I took out the options for the end user to pause the show
    If that is what you are looking for change the variable autoplay to true:

  • Passive interface on a SVI, does that work or not?

    Hello all,
    At my office, I am trying to clean some of the routing table and fix some routing issues. We run eigrp for internal network. In one of the routers, eigrp neighbor relationship is through SVIs only. I'm actively trying to use "passive interface default" for all the L3 devices, and doing "no passive... " for the interfaces that are currently forming neighbor relationship. So, does that work the same for SVIs? Do I just do "no passive interface default int vlan XX" for all the SVI that are forming the neighbor relationship? will that work the same as for a physical interface? or do I need to track the physical ports that are actively using that vlan? I have looked around and haven't found a definitive answer. I would really appreciate some help.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Can't open some web pages... DOES ANYONE HAVE A FIX THAT WORKS?

    I'm unable to open certain web pages. The pages will start to open and than the application will just stall. This seems to have coincided with downloading a security update a while back. I've tried downloading firefox and it too will not open these specific pages. I've searched the forum and as of now I can't find a solution. From what I've hear, Apple isn't even acknowledging that there is an issue. I've repaired permissions, deleted Safari plist files, all with no improvement. I know for a fact that it is not my internet connection, as my powerbook can navigate to these sites without any issues, however my powermac seems to have "forgotten" how to open some web pages.
    Any fixes would be enourmously appreciated!

    Thanks for the reply.
    I don't think that reporting the pages to apple would do much good as it's not the pages themselves that are the issue, it's something on my system that prevents them from opening up properly. My laptop will open the pages without any issue, however my desktop isn't able to for god knows what reason. I know others on this board have had similar problems.

  • I just bought a Scrabble game but it doesn't sit right in my IPad case. It's vertical not horizontal. I'd like to know how to fix or get a different one that sits horizontally.

    I Just bought a scrabble game but it doesn't sit well in my IPad cars. It diets vertically so I can't recharge my ipad while I'm playing and it won't sit up in my IPad case, it refers when my iAd is sitting horizontally. D like to either be given instruction on how to turn or I'd like to exchange for a different Sctabble game that will sit the right way, for my IPad.

    I have tried clicking all around and I cannot get to the contact manager at all anymore. Now when I click to it I go to My Verizon Online Sign In - Verizon Wireless (not sure if that link works here) and the web site says:
    You are seeing this page for one of the following reasons:
    1) The Sync & Connect feature does not appear on your account. To add this feature click on Home above, then click on the Change Features link.
    2) The Sync & Connect feature has recently been added to your account and the request is in process or pending completion. Please sign in again later.
    There's no "Home" or "Change Features" visible on that page. The more I do the stranger the site has gotten. This time it kept telling me I needed to sign back in, but then it would continue acting as normal (I AM signed in).
    I suppose there's a glitch.

  • Has anyone experienced persons in a group text not receiving texts in order?

    In my group of 4, we are finding that some receive certain texts in real-time as meant, while others may not receive them until 4 or even 6 hours later.  In two instances one of the people didn't receive the message at all.  This is causing a lot of confusion.  I had no idea why it seemed like my one friend was talking to herself.  That is until 4 hours later when texts from another friend, whom she had been responding to, came in out of order.  It seems to be affecting all of us in the group, completely at random.  Anyone else experiencing this?

    Just in case it's related to my issue, check your accounts.plist file for duplicate entries. Mine had hundreds that I deleted and it solved my problem.

  • Has anyone experienced random wake/sleep cycles? (NOT random shut down)

    I bought my macbook on August 1, 2006, and previously had a problem with my it randomly shutting down. I had that fixed in December. Now I'm having the opposite problem, essentially. Whenever I put my computer to sleep, it wakes itself up, waits a few seconds, puts itself back to sleep, waits a few more seconds, wakes itself up... a constant annoying cycle. It doesn't matter if I put it to sleep by closing the lid or by choosing "sleep" from the apple menu, it still does this. I thought that perhaps one of my applications was causing my macbook to wake itself up, but this happens even when no applications are in use and I'm completely disconnected from the internet. This is driving me CRAZY because the noise of it waking itself up keeps me awake, and having to close out of all of my applications and shut down every night or whenever I want to transport it is terribly bothersome. Plus... the fact that it is waking itself from sleep can't be positive! Does anyone have any advice? I'm going to take it into the mac store but I'm super busy and wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions until then.
    Thanks!
    macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I started having an almost identical problem. I would put the computer to sleep the screen would go black and seem to shutdown for a couple of seconds. Then the CD drive would make it's noise and the computer would wake up. I reproduced it with a clean install of OSX. If I had a password set on the computer and did not enter the password the computer would go to back to sleep and then repeat the process again and again.
    The first day it happened I could reproduce it every time. Now it's not so constant. I need to get the CPU to around 140 degrees Fahrenheit for a few minutes and then put the computer to sleep by typing command-option-eject.
    I suspect that there is a faulty cable or sensor. Conincidentally when the problem ocurred my bluetooth also seemed to "disappear" the computer could not detect the bluetooth module. That leads me to believe that there might be two cables one that is a case-open-close sensor and a bluetooth cable sensor and that they are getting pinched.

  • TS1559 this advice doesn't fix the problem?  Has anyone got a solution that works?

    wi-fi settings are greyed/dim or not responsive.  How do I fix this as the advice on this article doesnt work.

    This is almost always a hardware problem that requires replacement or repair.  Try all suggestions in the article first, and contact Apple or an Apple authorized service provider if unsuccessful.
    Beware of "hairdryer" and "freezer" methods you may see posted.  At best, they are a temporary fix and risk thermal damage which can't be repaired.

  • Has anyone experienced a microphone failure in Texting, Notes, and Siri when switching to ios 7?

    Last night I updated my ios from 5 to 7.1.1 on my iPhone 4s.  Ever since, I have had no microphone use in Siri, texting, or Notes.  But the microphone DOES work fine on the phone and in Dragon.  When I am in a text message, and I press the microphone icon, it comes on for less than a second, then shuts off.  I have re-started to no avail.  I found an identical problem reported here, but saw no answer...  This isn't an acceptable situation.  Ideas?

    If you have performed all of those troubleshooting steps, I would next call the carrier and ask them to reset your voicemail and reset your password. This should take care of it on the phone.

  • Does anyone have a 6280 that works perfectly?

    Recently got my 6280 on 'Three', and straight away started having problems with it eg screen freezing (crashing) in the middle of doing things, resetting itself every so often so my ringtone always goes back to the original etc, can't lock my keys as the screen then overheats & uses all the batterylife! & my battery life is lucky to last a day if I dont touch the phone!
    I'm sending it back to 'Three' for a replacement, but my question is: do any of these 6280's on 'Three' actualy work properly, as I realy love this phone!

    I now know there are problems with this particular Firmware version but do any of these phones on 'Three' work?
    Lisa.

    Ok, I can see this is going to turn into an argument pretty soon.
    Essentially, if yuo find that you have problems with a Nokia product I strongly advise you to get in contact with us or visit one of our Engineers so that they can take a look at the device for you.
    You can drop us an email or give us a call from the Contact Us page, and you can locate the nearest engineer to you from the Repair page.
    If you are on the network 3 and have version 3.36 firmware installed, you may want to visit an engineer for an update. Likewise, if you are on another network and have version 3.60 firmware.
    You can find out what version you have installed by entering *#0000# on the standby screen.
    For now though, this thread is closed. Feel free to create a new thread for different topics.

  • Can anyone recommend a printer that works well with the IMAC?

    I am new to the Mac world and bought an IMAC with Iphoto08. My main reason was for printing photos and using the great graphics of an IMAC. But, I have no printer as of yet because I don't know which printer would work best with the IMAC. Please helppppppp

    Nikki,
    click on this Epson link:
    http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/consumer/consDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oi d=63059194
    The 88+ is a very good inexpensive printer ..... it is temporarily "out of stock", but press the "Notify Me" button on the web page. You will also need a printer cable sold separately, but which Epson lists when you are able to order the printer.
    Also check their ink jet photo-type print papers. (I do not work for Epson .... but I've used their products for years and never had any problems). I know of two instances where the printers were duds, but Customer Service replaced them without a hassle.
