Lens Firmware Update

[peterthepooh]

Hello, I would like to update the firmware for my 40mm Pancake lens. On the instructions PDF, Canon says to use a 5D Mark III or newer. Does that mean I can use the new Canon 6D camera to do this? I am planning on buying this camera so would be interested to know.

Thanks!

Yes, the 6D would work.

Yes, the 6D would work.

Confirmed, just did it with my 6D despite Canon's documentation.

To add another data point, yes, this worked! ;D
Cheap as the lens is, was hesitant to go ahead till I read neuroanatomist's and Botts' replies! Canon really should update their documentation (after some internal testing).
