Had some auto focus issues, and thought they had been sorted, but not happy with it.


Anyway, back to the topic, reading on forums and the web, lots of people saying it's because their main focus is the pro market, and these sort of shows, they don't make big money on,as most people just want to touch the latest lenses, but no intention of buying.

Think it's odd, they pulled out so close to the actual event.
