Can you not return this obviously faulty lens?

Why not instead get a used Tamron 24-70 f2.8 G2 as was one of your original plans n.b. I have the G2 and also had the Canon 24-70 f2.8 L mark one which you had also contemplated. The mark one has a huge lens hood unlike the G2 and it has no IS whereas the G2 has 5 stops. Both are large and relatively heavy.

I'm not sure why you would have chosen 28-70 rather than 24-70 as that makes a big difference in how wide the latter can go.
