As it is, having to remove and re-mount a small lens like this is not even a minor bother.

That's why I see it as a bigger deal that others in the linked thread apparently do. Tom

IMHO, the initial wave of people buy it as a toy instead of a workhorse. But who would have thought that it performs so well, apart from the AF issue. Toolbox: 5D3|35L|85

If I had this lens, and had to remove it even once to get the AF to work, it would be on it's way back to Canon for repair. If steroids are illegal for athletes, should PS be illegal for models?

Then it would be user error if people don't "If it required you to remove your batteries (both of them) from the body, twirl the camera around your head 3 times in a direction compatible with the hemisphere" accept this Lightnings, Galapagos, Kenya, Ecuador, South-Africa, Finland and so on photos...
