*UPDATED* 5D Mark III Issue with EF 200 f/2L IS Official Canon Response

The issue may very well impact the 1DX too.
It stands to reason, if Canon are using a new algorithm for AI Servo on the 5D3 and the algorithm is borrowed from the 1DX, then the 1DX will have the same issue with those lenses. If it was something that could be repaired in camera then Canon would not take the route of recalling the lenses - they would repair the camera body or issue a firmware update for it.

I didn't experience this when I used the 1D X few weeks ago with my 800mm. I'm not sure how accurate your statement is. We'll see.

Hi everyone,
didn't found any news about this recently.
I just found out that I have the same issue with my 100mm 2.8 macro.
The sound starts quietly but then the volume increases and increases.
I don't want to damage the lens nor the camera.
Any updates on this?
Thanks

There has been no recent news because the affected lenses were recalled and fixed well over a year ago. The 100mm L macro was not affected, and I've not had a problem with either of my 5D MK III's, and have not seen it reported. its a relatively common lens, so users would be reporting issues by the thousands if there ware some sort of a general flaw.

I suggest that you have it repaired.
