I have never had an issue with the 16-35, its a great lens and I bet you will think so to.


Thanks for the soothing words, Rick. I'm not too worried about it, actually- but it was like "click on amazon, now have a quick look at TDP forum...." and there was this thread about the things falling apart


I guess I'll just have to hold on to this one and keep it away from my little kids and from hammers. []
