American Photo Magazine Disappointment Again

I received my latest issue of American Photo and again I am disappointed.  The magazine is thinner and full of garbage.  I recall the issues in the past having at least some content that was interesting and engaged my attention.  I was comparing my Digital PhotoPro magazine issue to the American Photo magazine and the Digital PhotoPro has a lot more interesting content.  Even the covers are better on Digital PhotoPro. 

Lets get your feedback and see what you think.

Thanks for the feedback!

Canon 28-135mm Lens Stuck

I was recently getting ready to shoot some photos at my son’s school when I tried to zoom in with my Canon 28-135mm lens I noticed it wouldn’t move.  I was a little concerned and then I noticed it was worse.  I couldn’t move the lens in our out.  I tried to remove the lens and adjust it without it being hooked up to the camera and had no luck.  Then I hooked it back up and it was able to work again but got locked up again.  It feels like the pieces are grabbing or something along those lines.  I contacted Canon already to see about sending it in for repairs along with my Canon 5D Mark II having issues with the USB port on it.  They said I could send it in and they would give me an estimate.  I looked online and it looks somewhere around $200 just to fix the lens and that is half the price of what I paid for it.  Ouch! 

I will be hoping someone could share their experience with this issue and give me some tips.

Thanks for reading!
