Hi Steve,
I returned the ED80 on the same day I received it - didn't even look thru it. I hate unpacking faulty stuff. It was my own fault though - tried to save a few dollars instead of buying from a dealer that checks the products they sell. (eg. BATSC/Bintel). Shortly after this experience I picked up the Stellarvue SV80BV while in the U.S. and I'm very happy with the quality.
I take onboard what you say about most people being happy with their ED80's. I think the lens is Japanese? so you can't go too far wrong there.
-Tony
