That sucks. I'm either one of the fortunate ones who got a good copy, or just too inexperienced at the time to know better. This lens at the time was my first fast prime. I was using kit lenses and affordable zooms before that.I had an EF 50mm f/1.4. Then its AF motor got stuck. Thought about it hard, decided its not worth fixing, and threw it to the trash. A couple of months before Canon acknowledge its a manufacturing problem. My lens' serial was covered, if only I waited a bit...
Later on I sold the 35mm f/2 IS USM to buy a new EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM mkIII, which was my last Canon prime.
