Two aperture motors have failed (out of warranty), and my brand new 100 f2.8 USM macro suddenly developed a very loose lens hood mounting ring shortly after getting the lens hood for it. My new PB-E2 failed after about 20-24 exposures and again was repaired under warranty. So if you haven't needed to use Canon's repair service, I'm envious! (I've got 2 lenses away at the moment being repaired.)
