Hello all
Remember the 5D3 launch issue with the abnormally strong clicking noise of the 200mm 2.0 ? This lead to a recall of some lenses for the 5D3 :

Well I could not find mention about the 1Dx being affected too, but I can say it is.
I just switched from 1D4 to 1Dx and had the surprise to see my 200mm (code ending in 01) is also affected. The clicking is very clear & strong and this is exactly the malfunction described for the 5D3.
I'm talking with Canon Japan, they have a hard time reconizing the issue and claim I should come over and pay for repairs since this "affects only 5D3" ... no way obviously, I'll push to get proper service
Anyway if you have a lens in the affected serial range, just get it fixed !

Why not tell em you are renting/own a 5d3 and have it done for free?
