I feel your pain on this. I suggest you pay Canon to fix it. Also, I wish you had posted this under your own thread rather than ruin this one where the initial poster was trying to praise this lens. It seems very unfair.

Wait, now: what makes it unfair to post a caveat that comes from painful first-hand experience on a thread where someone else praises the lens?

I think we all OWE it to each other to freely share the good and the not-so-good, so noone is misled about a piece of gear. This would be different if someone was merely badmouthing the lens, but that does not seem to be the case here at all.

He can start his own thread for that. No one is stopping him from doing that and anyone can read it as they can this one. It is unfair because the creator of this thread has seen his thread hijacked by something that may not even be the fault of the lens. No one is stopping or even suggesting sharing anything, but there is a thing about respecting threads created by others.
