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

Anand,

Sorry to hear about this. There are those who have switched out 5 lenses from B&H over in the CanonRumors Forum and still getting stuck with the "032" batch which I also returned to Amazon. It seems all 2012 units are good as well as the April batches. I would ask them to swap it out again because I would hate to lose the rebate. It will be all worth it once you gets tick free one like so many of us. Keep us all posted.
