Yep, sounds like you've been hit by the AL element seperation demon! ;-) I replaced mine with a Tamron 28-75/2.8. Rather expensive and I'm still undecided as to whether I really like it. One of the "harshest" Bokehs I've seen. Kind of a double image, not very pleasing if the background contains a lot of fine detail.
