My 70-200 will not mount to my 1dx. All other lenses mount to the 1dx no problems. 70-200 mounts to my 7D. I have checked all screws, even tried forcing it. Even tried a "Quick/fast" mounting. Any ideas?

It's small but you could see it with a flash light.  Also, can you check the slots on the mount if they are bend in any way? I never had a lens that couldn't mount to one camera and but not the other. Are they flushed together when the red dots lined up? Can you take a pic of the mount?

Checking all the screws, comparing the gaps in the mounting "ramps" on 3 different lenses, even went to the closet and tried the lens on my old 40D! It's the simple things in life that get ya! Wow...move the plate forward! Haha.

Aug 12, 2014 07:12 | #12  Permanent banI hope this makes you feel better. I did the exact same thing with a gripped 60D and Sigma 70-200 OS. I had just purchase the lens and was setting it up on a tripod during a summer cookout. Friends, neighbors, the whole nine yards. I spent twenty minutes, mounting and dismounting several lenses on two cameras. I could NOT get the camera to mount! It was quite embarrassing, to say the least, when I had to announce that I was, indeed, a complete and total imbecile. My wife was not surprised. WARNING: I often dispense advice in fields I know little about!
