[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 345488, member: 9521"] The 17-35mm f/2.8 lens is one of the few lenses that is a documented "squeaker" and the seller is correct, the squeak on this lens really doesn't affect its performance. The cost of repair runs around $175 (quote from Kurts Camera Repair in SD) and consists of replacing the barrel mechanism. However, this is the only lens I know of for whom the squeak in benign, any other lens that squeaks, such as the 28-70mm, is a very bad thing and should be avoided. One of the strong points of the 17-35mm f/2.8, and unlike the 14-24mm f/2.8, is its ability to use normal filter systems. Something I didn't fully appreciate when I purchased my 14-24mm. [/QUOTE]
