loosely translated: you have been assimilated, resistance is futile...

and yes it looks like Im going to have to replace my 17-40L as after its little swim in sept some of the coatings on the lenses must have been damaged as its acting funny in certain lighting conditions...

that is a thought but I just couldnt bring myself to doing something like that to someone knowing that the lens has faults... Its just something I can not do...
