As I previously posted, I had been experiencing inconsistent/nonexistent
auto focus with this lens.
I sent it off to C.R.I.S. - took 13 days for repair/return from when they
contacted me about it.
For $173.USD, ($58 for the SDM & $115 for labor) the SDM was replaced, lens
adjusted to manufacturers specs (?), a general check & clean and a 6 month
service warranty.
The lens returned as pristine as when I sent it and it now autofocuses 100%
of the time. Time will tell.
I requested the removed part, out of curiosity,
it shown here http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=12929992
The SDM itself is smaller in diameter than an American dime and about 3
times as thick - amazing piece
