Please watch this very short 22 second video, which clearly explains what I mean
I found a bit of play or loosening at the interface of camera and lens (attachment / lens mount / ring)
On my 5D Mark III
The lens in view in the video is Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
Found some entries on the internet saying that it is normal
Is it?
Loose lens mount attachment ring on Canon 5D Mark III. Camera-lens interface wiggleThe phenomenon happens with all lenses, but less obvious on smaller less bulky ones
Therefore, my conclusion is that the defect, if it turns to be a defect, is actually with the camera, rather than the lens
The play, is most demonstrable with larger lenses, especially when the larger lens is held on a tripod
I found no problem with electronic connection
All screws for both lens and camera ring, are tight
It has never fell off my hands, or had any accidents
Any thoughts?
Please check your camera, preferably with a large lens, and let us know
Note: , a later edit:
If you test camera and lens with the 2 hands, it will feel much LESS than the video. Please try to mount lens securely on a tripod, leaving the camera hanging to the lens, then try again. This should make the play much more obvious. Or, at least this is what I experienced
