p.1 #1 · PSA: lens firmware updates


I haven't been on the board for a while, so I might have missed something, but it doesn't look like this topic has been discussed much recently. I discovered that quite a few Canon lenses, including a number of recent RF lenses, have firmware updates available. EOS Magazine has compiled a list, and I thought I would share in case this is new information for anyone. (Apologies if this is old news.)

Canon Lens Firmware Updates

Your lenses might already be current, but if you have a lens on this list, it might be worth a look. You can check the lens firmware versions in-camera.

It has been discussed, but not recently. Good time for a reminder.

p.1 #3 · PSA: lens firmware updates


Very interesting article which highlighted for example that there were firmware updates for the 500 II and 600 II f/4 lenses which can only be performed by Canon. Thanks for sharing.

You should also have your PSA checked as a possible indicator of prostate cancer.

p.1 #5 · PSA: lens firmware updates


I sent my 400 2.8 II in for firmware update just a few months ago. I was very surprised, it made a noticeable difference. Since the update I get more images in each burst that are keepers, less variance from image to image. Updating firmware on this lens definitely helps focus accuracy. Wish I had known about the update a couple years ago.

Beware that the list is dated April 2021, so it is out-of-date now.

This nerd keeps a spreadsheet of all cameras and lenses, with the last firmware version and date of update.

That list was out of date when published for the RF 70-200 f2.8

At first I was like "Phffff, I'm always up to date on this, why this post?"

Then I decided to check the RF 70-200/2.8 I got last week, and yes, there it was - a firmware update that had not been applied.

Many thanks for the reminder!
