Have you tried shooting faster than 1/300? Although you're ISO is high and that won't help sharpness.

It's a shame they disabled the ability to use the Canon software API to perform Micro adjustments as I have just managed to use the API to connect and take a picture using my Canon 5dmk3. Otherwise you could programmically make it do the adjustments. I was looking at Magic Lantern, but the 5d mk3 is only in alpha stages.

Nope, not sure it's available for my 7D.

Don't really want to mess with stuff like that either.

I am certainly not jumping on that band wagon inside of the 5Dmk3's warranty. I was just looking to get the best out of my lenses, I have always been a little suspect of my 16-35mm mk2. I have found that a -1 on wide and -2 on narrow seems to work better.

Maybe try Focal as suggested.

It doesn't do a full auto adjustment, which mean button pressing and potential movement. especially on the zoom lens.
