Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L USM - The Keg

when i borrowed this lens for a week i found i had to use it on my 350D, because on my 40D it did weird things to the battery - while focusing, the camera would often just turn off, and when i turned it back on it said low batt - but when i swapped lenses, battery was actually still full!

but on 350D 1 battery lasted for ages as normal

has anyone else had problems like this with the 85L or other camera/lens combos? what is the solution?

it worked fine when i had used it on a 40D .. thats weird though. do you have latest firmware on it?

possibly not... bought the 40D 5mth ago
will check that out, thanks

i heard of one other camera reporting issues like that with certain L lenses, the 1DsIII

Thank you, very generous compliment. He's pretty easy to photograph, the other one is a little camera shy...

I need to stay out of this thread.

Hi guys.... I did a search without success, and though I did read at least have of this thread a while ago, I don't remember any mentions of the use of the 85 with a CPL... any thoughts?

Thanks!!

I got a CPL the other week and so far like it on the 85L but haven't any worthy shots with that combo to post yet! The same CPL will fit on the 35L too and it really works great on that

Very false, this lens is cool! My daughter, on the other hand, wasn't acting very cool.
