could it be the lens?

Most of the time is the lens fault.

Another fren rented the 17-55 to cover a wedding and same error happen while doing some test shots at home.

Immediately called the rental shop and got a replacement. :sweat:

Yupp, it's mostly the lens, because the mounting is not metal, it's plastic. So the lens can still shift a little even though locked in


GMAN

the contact pins on the body mount is spring loaded mechanism, therefore even there is small physical shift should not cause the error. if this is really a pain is the a$$, then change / upgrade body lor.

Well, after you lock the lens in, and if there's a free play, where by you can still turn the lens more than the lock position. I tired a few batches before. Not just on my body. But other bodies as well. 3 out of 5 could shift. Apparently L lenses don't have this problem of shifting.

nope. even L lenses will have the shifts too.
it is all about dimension and tolerance. if everything is fitting nicely, then the design and construction of lens mount is designed to fail!

Come to think of it hor...

I do come across some 3rd parties like tokina, pretty hard to mount the lens on my body. Like very tight. :sweat:

Yeah, suprising even my kit lens and all the other lenses don't move. When i tried the 17-55mm it moved. So i thought i was wrong. I tried another copy. Moved again. Thought it was my body problem. Used the shop body and tried, also moved.
