I've got something strange happening all of a sudden. When I tried to mount my 100-400 on a 40D just now for some reason it won't lock in. I then tried it on my 50D and 20D...same thing. No problems with any other lens mounting so it's got to be something with the lens itself. This is out of the blue since I've never had any problems before with it and it hasn't been dropped ever. Visually it looks fine to me...any thoughts? I'm getting a little nervous here.


Canon 7D * Canon 7D Mark II * Canon 50D * Canon 40D * Canon 20D * Canon S95 * EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM * EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS II USM * EF 100-400L f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM

can you post a pic of the rear of the lens that shows the detail of the mount? That way people could tell you if anything looks damaged or missing.

That's usually the case with the 100-400L (in more ways that one it seems). :D Glad you got it going...
