Also, since so many people are using this lens, the chances are even higher - you don't know what the lens is going through while people are using it.

READ their site: "The 17-55 f2.8 IS lens has a problem rate of 1.5% of rentals..." - that should normalize the results fairly well. Considering they've currently got 32 copies of it, they could therefore book perhaps 30-60 rentals in a month, or 360-720 rentals in a year. For 5-10 of those rentals to have a problem, that's a bummer.


Anyhow, I do hope the original poster enjoys their 18-200 purchase!
