[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 429902, member: 14443"] its the first gen AFS motor. (actually the AF-I were the first I think) the ones in the market are tiring. the 17-35/28-70/80-200 AFS 2.8 were the first trio to have them. my friends 17-35 is also dying or is dead as well. I sent my 28-70 to taiwan. cheaper and faster than anyone would in the US would do it if I had to send it there. im ot from the US.
