Ah, eBay is the great dumping grounds for lenses that have all sorts of issues. Don't be fooled into thinking that white lenses are all perfect off the line (lemons are rare, but do happen). On the flip side though, the percentage of bad lenses on eBay is still pretty low (IMHO) until you start getting into the Sigma, Tokina, etc. brands that have worse quality control.

Finally mine got shipped from J&R. Man there credit verification is a problem. I had to give them my landline phone number. Add that to my credit card. Had to go home from work and call them from home for verification. They said, order is over $1000 and we have to verify everything.

Too bad it's also OOS.excellent lens. i tried to find one for $350 when circuit city closed but couldn't find any. many in the photography forums found them at the $350 price which surprisingly, wasn't marked down that much from cc's reg. price which was much lower than anyone else's.
Got mine delivered 2 days back. Results are just like my 70-200 F/4L non IS. I was expecting something out of this world. Lens was much sharper at f/8. DOF was very thin at f/2.8 and I got undesired results.
