Just received mine today. I thought I was getting a great deal as I ordered with a 15% off coupon. But apparently all of us that waited this long are getting a discount. Oh well. I did notice that is has a little clunk at the 24mm setting, presumably from the element group that has to move with the zoom.
Anyone found a lens light shield solution as it does not appear that the eyecup is the 'fold up' type.
