Oct 09, 2014 13:58 | #1 I have been haveing an issue with my 85 1.8 on my 6D. Every once in a while I get the error 01. Only this lense on this body. At first I thought it was the lense, cleaned contacts etc. Still happens. I am using a vello grip but because it doesnt happen on my other lenses I suspected the lense. It got bad today, happening about 40 percent of the shots. I removed the grip and errors have been gone. EOS R gripped, 6D w/Vello grip, 650 w/Canon grip, 85 1.8, 16-35L, 40mm 2.8, 100mm 2.8 L Macro Broncolor Siros 400S

But I had 2 die/go bad on me on my 5d3. Just couldn't trust them anymore. Shame, really is www.nickpompei.com

Sometimes no errors, next time crippling the session for a few minutes. Been a heck of a week as my YN 560tx is also one of the buggy units- waiting for the dealer to get back to me.... Yeah, I know how that goes. I think I'd send the Vello in for warranty repair and then sell it and put that money towards buying a Canon model. Good luck. Mark

Oct 19, 2014 10:03 | #7 UPDATE: Purchased a second battery for the grip. With two batteries installed I had no errors on a wedding gig last night. I will be testing vigorously this week to see if that eliminated the problem. EOS R gripped, 6D w/Vello grip, 650 w/Canon grip, 85 1.8, 16-35L, 40mm 2.8, 100mm 2.8 L Macro Broncolor Siros 400S
