It's not dirty contacts, and re-seating didn't help. I took a few shots with it, and it was fine. Failed in the middle of trying to shoot a balloon festival tonight. Turns out it didn't make too much difference, as the winds kept the balloons from flying. My first bad lens John Caputo

Put on my 1d and can't get it to work. My 70-200 is working just fine with the 1d. So, now I'm not positive what the problem is. I got nearly 100 shots off with the 17-40 before it failed(1d only).

Even though it worked in my XTi, and looked clean to me, I went ahead and cleaned off the lens contacts(just like the camera told me to do   The lens worked very well. And, I agree with above. Last time I went to the zoo, all I used was my 70-200 + 1.4 TC. A couple of pictures could have used a wider lens, but not required. John Caputo

Perhaps the lens that wowed me the most first time I used it. Sadly, I seldom do use it now. It's even been relegated to my second bag. I just don't shoot wide all that often. Hopefully, now with my Domke F1x, it will come with me more and see some more use. I gotta tell ya, I love seeing the shots from that thing! Gear List
