I am happy to report not one speck of dust. Now I am impatiently waiting to go home and try this puppy out. Considering I have been shooting with the kit lens I am really looking forward to the results. More so the weather this weekend is looking good. Happy picked up a polarizer as well! Geeezzzz, photography is expensive. My Gallery http://www.pbase.com/tikikity

Geeezzzz, photography is expensive. I recently purchased one for a vacation out west. It's a fantastic lens. Unfortunately, it's already sucked up some dust. Disappointing, but I guess I have to live with it. XTi | 60D | 11-16 f/2.8 AT-X DX | 17-55 f/2.8 IS | 70-200 f/4 L IS | S95 | G6 | SD800IS

Hope you bought the hood for it as well. Will be going to China at week's end and plan to shot thousands of photos with it. No dust with my lens, try getting a UV filter. Canon 30D Gripped

Jun 22, 2007 21:30 | #14 I thought I missed UPS at the end of the day today, but it turned out that it was delivered in the morning and no one told me about it. I've only taken a few pictures with my new 17-55 IS, but the one I took of a lily was spectacular and the bokeh at 2.8 was real nice!! Chris
