I don't agree with that... wholly anyway. I have the lens and I find the focus action to be sharp and accurate. The things that I do agree with you on is that it is quite noisy. Forget trying to auto focus without people realizing you're trying to snap a picture of them. They'll hear you from across the room. No full-time manual really sucks, too.

Then again, if you're using the lens for video using manual then focus noise and lack of full-time manual isn't really an issue.
 
I am just going to get the Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Lens it has zooming and focusing, I plan on using a mattbox plus its just much better glass. my budget was 500 to 600 on the lens they have Refurbished ones on eBay for 620 but I think I want it new in the box.
