70-200 f 2.8L & 20D

[Jw333]

I’m disappointed with the fit of my L series lens to the body. When locked in place the lens is not a tight fit and I can turn it. Does anyone else have this problem?

[ACDCROCKS]

I never had that problem, but I was using the IS version.

[shutterghost]

um, whats your relative definition of "turn"?...

yes when the lens is mounted there is tiny amounts of "wiggle room" and i mean maybe 5mm worth of wiggle room. This may seem like a lot but really i've never mounted a lens and had it have a death grip on its mount.

[JaertX]

nope....mine seems pretty snug. I can see how the mount would wear out though.

I have a 20D and 70-200 2.8L. I can move it literally 1/100th of an inch, so its not like its anchored in concrete. It can move barely.

Mine fits very snug, no "wiggle" ?

[GyRob]

i have a few canon lenses L's and they all have a mm of movment ,nothing to worry about imho.

[Mediasoldier]

Both my lenses are snug fits, don't move at all.

[Billginthekeys]

most large heavy L's. including my 70-200 2.8 and 400 have a little bit of wiggle. its not a problem

[ACDCROCKS]

It's when they fall off is when you worry lol. But dont worry about, if it gets worse, I would send it in or check on it.

[Thornfield]

Define wiggle....as in the rings seperate? or do you mean that once you have mounted it into place you can turn it back a little bit....if the former I would be worried if the latter I wouldn't worry...all my lenses do it and it doesn't affect the image...which should be our main concern

[kenny12]

check the little screws on the lens mount, make sure they are in properly they can come a bit loose after a while

There HAS to be a little bit of clearance when the lens is mounted, it is a fundamental factor of the EF mount design. Unlike the FD mount.
