p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · New lens really tight to install


Just purchased a 50mm STM lens. Couldn't wait to try it out, only to find that it is difficult to install on my 1D. I also have a 24-105 and it is smooth as butter when spinning onto the mount. (Same for 100-400). I plan on returning the lens, not sure if I'll ask for a replacement.

Have others found this when they purchased this lens? (wondering if this is unusual or if it happens more often due to the cost factor. paid $105 new)

Its a tolerance buildup or even a error. Occasionally someone sees a tight or loose mount, the replacement has almost always been fine.

I have often found weathersealed lenses tight to mount but I have the 50mm STM and don't have the issue. It might be an idea to exchange it.

Just exchange it. Mine is great.

I found my 50 STM to be tight, but not difficult or feeling like it needs to be forced. I like a tight fitting lens mount, sounds like yours might be too tight.

I did exchange it for another one, much better feel and easier to install and remove. Images are very nice so far.

I had 50mm 1.4 USM in the past. It is so tight that it leaves a mark on my 5D3 mounting. I sold it to someone else since his camera body works fine and smooth with that lens. Forgot to mentioned that all my other lens including 85mm 1.8 USM are mounted smoothly on that 5D3.

Too bad that my 50mm 1.4 USM is beyond the time to exchange. It works great with my 7D in the past.

So, exchange it while you can.
