p.7 #15D Mark III + 200mm 2L = Weird/Loud IS?
So did anyone hear back from Canon how this problem will be addressed?

Not HOW, but I did get a reply that it IS being looked at. I am sure a solution will arrive, unlike for the 50L focus shift <ducks>.

Ok, thanks for the update... Just curious, so all you with 200L and 5DIII are not currently shooting with this combo?

I could hear the IS at a level louder than normal on my 200mm f/2.0 lens, not during the operation of the IS but when the IS gets deactivated. I think the IS of my 800mm behaves even weirder, I could see the image as jittery in the viewfinder although the actual image taken with it seems to be fine both using the 200 and 800mm lenses.
I got the feeling that those lenses will have to be sent in to Canon to make the adjustment rather than a fix in the form of a firmware update of the 5D Mark III. I am hoping for the best but prepared for the worst.

Is the issue with AI Servo mode only or any focus mode?

I'm shooting with it. It works. Just sounds funny.

That would not be hilarious. Then again, being optimistic - there was an IS sound issue with a previous camera before, and also was fixed in firmware... so there's hope.

James, the jittery viewfinder part occurs in the AI Servo, at least in my case, and not in the single shot mode.
Like Stan's experiece though, the images are fine. The louder sound of the IS is not too bad but the jittery viewfinder is bothersome, for sure.

Would be interested in details about that.

There's Google or the dpreview archives for that

And you never will, as Canon does not regard this as a problem.

My 5D 3 came in this morning. Once I get home I'll give it a try and see if I can dodge the noise :-)

OK. My 5D III was shipped from Adorama on Friday the 6th right before they closed.
I got it yesterday and tested it this morning briefly with the 200L.
To my relief, I did not hear the "clicking" noise people are talking about. I just heard the normal gyroscope sound from IS. I put the lens on my 7D and the noise was the same with no "clicking".
Again, this was a very quick test but I did NOT hear any "clicking" sounds. Perhaps I got a newer batch of 5D III's?

Are you testing it in AI Servo mode?

What is the firmware on your 5DIII?
Apr 13, 2012 at 09:49 AM
p.7 #185D Mark III + 200mm 2L = Weird/Loud IS?
Firmware is 1.0.7
Tried using AI Servo mode and it was slightly louder but no clicking. The focus wasn't as clear as One stop though. Not too happy about that.

So just to be clear - if you don't use IS is everything fine? Or is there still problems with AI Servo?

I never found AI Servo to be as clear as One Shot on my 5D2, using any lens. In fact, I found AI Servo to be more or less useless. On the 5D2, the only workable setting was center point, One Shot. YMMV.
