All of them did, pretty much to the same extent. It hasn't seemed to affect lens group alignment, my images are pretty sharp. As an aside, this is one of the advantages of dealing with a brick and mortar store. If I had bought the lens from, say, B&H, I'd have had to post to a forum like this, or be left wondering, or return it.
