Since my last post on April 1st I have been in touch with Fringer and explained my problem. I had a somewhat curt reply informing me that if the lens had not been optimised by them in an update, that was all I could expect. The reason they have not produced an optimisation for this model of lens, they tell me , is because they have been unable to find one to test! As this was one of Canons most popular long lenses I am surprised to say the least. They tell me that they may possibly make the optimisation some time in the future.
