04 serial number..

I just got mine on the $1699 deal from Adorama and it's got the 04 (April 2013) serial number, and it does NOT have the clicking sound. I tried it many times in a very quiet room... I do not hear anything other than the smooth "woosh." However, the zoom ring does seem to be a little stiff. At least stiffer than my version 1 of the same lens I just sold...

And it is very sharp. I compared it against my Sigma 35mm f1.4 @2.8, and I can't tell them apart both in the center and on the edge.
