Re: NEW 24-70mm f2.8ii Zoom Ring "Ticking" While Zooming

I just received my replacement from B&H and as expected it had the same ticking while zooming..darn!!!

Its a 032... serial #. I am not sure what to do now..Just return and wait for sometime till this batch clears out and hoping get a new batch 04....+ that folks have reported zooming smoothly? But then I wont get the $1699 deal by then..aarggh

I can live with this ticking but paying that much money I just want to be sure this is not something that would become a major issue after 1 year warranty expires...I am having a trip to cancun end of nov. and was hoping just this lens + 5dIII wud do but now that doesnt seem to be the case

Thanks
