Just this morning, took delivery of my "new" refurb 24-105. Looks pristine, and both rings are very smooth. UA date code. Can't wait to try it out!

Sirrith Cream of the Crop More info | Apr 13, 2013 00:21 | #5 Try shooting at 105mm f4.5 and 1/10 shutter speed (brace yourself against something). UA date code 24-105's have a higher than normal chance of having a bad circuit board which will cause the IS system to create blur in your slow SS shots when the aperture is closed down past wide open. The blur will be quite consistent and diagonal, not all over the place as is normal with camera shake. -Tom

That was one of the main reasons I waited for a refurb, rather than buying new or used. Fingers crossed yours has been checked then -Tom
