Well, that confirms my earlier thought where this ticking is isolated to March 2013 batch - serial number starting with 03....

Has anyone who bought the lens in the $1699 deal has gotten a lens from a batch other than March 2013? I should be gettin mine - another March 2013 batch from B&H. I dont have any hopes of it being smooth either. So if thats the case then I wud just return it for refund and try locall stores where I can check it out in person. Fingers crossed..Will update

Do you think it is possible for call/chat with B&H and ask for a serial # other that 03... or even a 2012 batch? Has any one done like that and was it honored?

Thanks

Anand

I ordered mine on October 16th from B&H to get the $1699 deal and got a serial number beginning with 96... which is a November 2012 manufacture date. No problems with it so far. No ticking, smooth zoom and focus.
