(I will make a point of checking all new lenses mounted on body from now on) - the distributor in Australia asked me to ship it back to them (yes, meant I had no camera to work with, the only lens I have) and they shipped me a replacement this week. I thought it would be a 5 minute, in house job but they said it had to be repaired in Germany.) It's not an uncommon problem I am told.
