Good for you. Unfortunately I am waiting on the new exchange lens from B&H and dont get to pick the batch/year. I saw in invoice the new one I am getting on exchange also starts with 03.... serial (and last four digits are an earlier number compared to the one I RMA'ed) which tells me its Mar 2013 batch again and I am pretty sure its going to have the same "ticking" issue

Man just wish the zoom was as quite and smooth as my other L...I hope this "ticking" doesn't turn out to be an issue once the warranty expires!

Anand,

Definitely keep us all posted. I hope you are lucky this time around like I was. As much as it makes sense that it's just an extra loud brush sensor rubbing in the lens barrel, it's an uneasy feeling. It's not a $16.99 or $169.99 lens. So I want a lens that won't make me second guess what might happen down the line.

If you bought with a major credit card, (I used my Discover) then you get another year of free warranty from them. But as Murphy's Law would have it, it'll break in 2 years a 1 month
