David,
One of the Hyperion Zooms had a spacer ring missing so the skirt couldn't be tightened and there was quite a bit of 'wobble'. We subsequently found out that this has been reported by others. At the time we knew, because we had the other EP to compare with.
The second EP had what looked like a 'hair' inside... no way to get it out, so must have been built into it. Even this problem has been reported by others! I noticed it by using the full zoom function and looking at a very bright moon... lots of light and you could see the contaminate rotate around with the lens elements.
But, as I said, they were replaced... and the replacements really are suprisingly good (given the bad reputation of zooms!). Just look carefully (if you can, at the shop... the problem with mail orders).
