More info | Sep 16, 2008 20:12 | #1 I just used a brand new 85 1.8 at a volleyball game last week and got the error 99 turn off or reset the battery message at least 5 times during the match. I shot on manual, autofocus, ai servo, 10fps and got locked out. I have only experienced the error 99 message maybe 2 times since receiving the camera June 07. What do you all think? Do I have a faulty lens? My students ask, "Where's that bazooka lens?"

More info | It has happened so rarely that I can't remember what lens was on the camera. But this was the first time a used the 85. It seemed to lock up when I tried to do bursts. Could it be the autofocus not being able to get a lock fast enough? I was shooting at 1.8 - 2.8. My students ask, "Where's that bazooka lens?"
