“what does the I in "f/5.6-I" stand for? i mistakenly bought this lens after seeing the "f/5.6-8" in market, and thoughtthis was a steal of a fixed aperture telephoto lens!?”

• I believe that best buy mistakenly labeled this. It is not an "L" lens. My best guess is that they meant to copy the "IS", meaning image stabilization

• Best Buy refuses to correct their typographical error. I have notified them of the error quite some time ago and the error persists. It should be f/5.6-8 rather than f/5.6-I. Looks like they sold you an aperture of f/U.

• It's an error. It is "f/5.6-8". There is no lens being "f5.6-I".
