p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · MP-E 65 lens contacts getting old... replace or fix? | |
I've had my MP-E 65 for about 4.5 years, and I've used it an awful lot. I've probably taken it out into the field at least 200 times since I bought it. Lately, I have been getting this error quite a lot:
"Er 01. Communications between the camera and lens is faulty. Clean the lens contacts."
I was using it yesterday, and it seemed as though it only became an issue when shooting above 1X but less than 2X. Outside that range, it was working fine. Today it is worse and is showing the error across the whole range.
I could send it in for a check and cleaning, but I'm guessing there is a pretty high chance that they'll just charge me over USD100 and tell me it can't be fixed. I had some cameras cleaned at the local Canon facility here and they didn't do a very good job in my opinion.
I've googled this error and didn't come up with much.
Anyone out there have a similar issue, and should I just go out and buy a new one?
Thanks, Terrence
