Originally posted by Vranx Just pulled the trigger on a DA* 4/300 ED IF etc etc, but alas, this is a real disappointment!!!
I've been trhough the articles in the gear databases covering this lens and they mention average to normal AF speed, but nothing sound as bad as mine is offering.
Any comments...
New or used, it should not matter. Contact the seller immediately and express your intent to return it for either a full refund, or replacement with a fresh copy. Yes, it's a hassle, but do it, now!
The DA*300/4 is my walk-around field lens. It's been fast and responsive for more than 5 years. No problems...
Good luck... M
