I received my BMC about 9th March I wonder if it has the flange issue fixed?
I've only ever owned Canon Lenses, after ordering the BMC I figured I'd need a lower light capable lens (it seems everyone touts the tokina 11-16mm as there's not much else around) I sold my Canon 10-22mm (beautiful lens btw) and picked up the tok what a disappointment.
You wouldn't believe the difference compared to a Canon 17-55mm and my 10-22? at times even smoked that! Now I feel like an idiot for off loading it.
I won't bother about the flange issue just to remedy the Tok at 2.8 I do know some people like the TOK but not me.
Re: Fixes etc;
It would be helpful if a manufacturing date was included in the package and an announcement of which manufacturing date onwards the flange has been corrected. Anyway, its just another example of the quirky and annoying bits of info hard to find out, such as, what firmware version is installed on the camera? Be handy to have that in the menu, on screen, in the box, on a QC note signed, ...somewhere.
