I just tested my 5D3 with my 200L and I also have the strange loud noise!!!
Send CPS an email about it hope they have an answer...

I'm getting the same results. Appears to working fine except for the loud noise. Please let us know what you learn from CPS...

Thanks.

Has anyone tested the 500mm f/4L IS with the new 5D III?

Hi, not related, but related to the AF. I'm noticing on old lenses that the AF is sporadic, inconsistent, in short really bad. Mainly on my modified Contax lenses. I would think it's the lenses, but they are spot-on with my Mark ii. The other lenses I've tried are fine.

So there must be something with the new AF that needs to be adjusted...

With new camera releases sometimes 3rd party algorithms fail to function correctly. I had this as an issue with an old Tokina lens and heard of the same with Sigma. The correction is most likely going to come on your side, not Canons. That means sending the lens to be flashed by Conorus. That doesn't explain the 200IS though of course...

I would not worry. If there is a problem using the 200/2 IS on the new camera. Then Canon will fix it of course

Not the 200L. Please, anyone not having problems with the combo, relieve our fears.

You are killing me!?!

I was seriously planning on my first outing with the 5D III be with the 200/2L. That's too funny. Oh well - I'll have to wait until my 5D III ships before I can confirm this with my 200/2L

At least we have good company. Some bug reports are starting to roll in about the D800 and D4. I just confirmed a bug in the D4:

So at least we can suffer in company!

p.2 #9 · p.2 #9 · 5D Mark III + 200mm 2L = Weird/Loud IS?

This is very surprising to me. I would have thought that IS worked completely independently of the body, such that you could use IS on a body that was manufactured before IS was even invented.
It would seem that IS would exist entirely within the lens and that the body wouldn't care to know about it. That IS would make a different noise on a different body suggests the body is more involved in IS operation.

I wonder if it's a power problem - that the 5D3 is providing too much (or too little) power to the lens, and that's causing the IS to behave differently.

p.2 #10 · p.2 #10 · 5D Mark III + 200mm 2L = Weird/Loud IS?

They probably didn't think to try this, but wouldn't it make sense for Canon to pay one person
to simply take each new body about to be released and go out and shoot a few shots with every
lens in their line-up? It probably seems like overkill, but it wouldn't cost that much and would
catch a lot of problems like this.

Canon will fix it, and probably quite soon, but it kind of cracks me up that they must not shoot
many actual photos with these things back at the lab.

How dare you discuss the concept of logic in a Canon thread?

I reported this issue to Canon, through "normal" channel as my CPS contact was unavailable, and support claimed I was first to report this! He said he will forward my report and they will call back.

Lets see how this turns out!

Got an email back stating the EF200/2IS always has been "loud"... and it seems the information I gave over the phone was not entirely noted

I ended up giving all details once more, this time on e-mail and referring to this thread to show it's not just me, plus sending information to my CPS-contact through web-form.

It seems to have got them busy, as no further replies has been received

Exactly! I wonder what is different about the 200L that makes this happen.

When has anyone called Canon and NOT heard the response "This is the first time we've heard about this issue"?

Me 3 years ago:
"Hello my 5D's mirror has fallen off"

Canon Manager 3 years ago:
"That's the first time we've heard about this issue".

Having the same problem with the 200 f/2. Today I tried the 5DMIII with the 800 and it also was making more noise than I had heard before. Annoying enough that I would not want to use the lens with IS on. Turned off IS and everything worked well. but there is certainly some change caused by the 5D. Hard to believe Canon is not aware of this.

Do you think a firmware update would resolve this?

I also noticed the crazy noise from the 5D3 & 200 f/2.

I'll put all the big white supertelephotos on tomorrow and see if any others do it.
