Another thought - is this a new lens for a camera you've already been using 
successfully with other lenses? If so, is it possible that the lens is faulty, 
and can't focus sharply? Or is just not as sharp as you're used to?

Is it a Canon mount lens, or have you fitted an adapter to some other type of 
lens? Some lens/camera/adapter combinations can't focus to infinity.

Finally, is it just darker than you're used to compared to a faster lens you 
own?
