I bought a new Tamron 70-300 USD (for Canon) a few weeks ago, and the USD failed the day after I got the lens, without obvious reasons. Returned the lens, got a new one, and this seems to work OK. Until now, at least. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
