Mine hit the ground while my camera/lens was at the end of my tripod, as I fell it picked up speed like a baseball bat and slammed to the ground with a horrible sound. Surprisingly, all that could be found was a tiny little scuff on the side of the hood. When they say it's built like a tank, they meant it.I'm still missing the 70-200 lens but not lusting after it just quite yet. In my perfect world that exists only in my mind, I'll buy this lens when the next version of it is released. I'm guessing within another couple yrs they'll have some reason to update this lens. Until then I'll use my trusty 70-300mm.</blockquote>
