p.2 #1 · Canon Finally Fixes the R System


The other oversight Canon made with the RF mount redesign was the elimination of the small red hemisphere/bump that one could easily locate by feel in dark environments to line up the lens for quick mounting on the camera, pretty much without looking.

Not possible with RF!

Perhaps it was the same clever person (or committee) who designed the RF rear cap?

Overheard at Canon Repair Center:

<<Sam: Hey, Joe, look at this zoom stuck with black plastic bits.>>

<<Joe: Yeah, we're getting a bunch of those repair tickets.>>

Thank you for posting this. To bad some of the 3rd party companies had not thought of this years ago.

All Canon did was remove one of the "bayonets" on the cap. So, file off the "bayonet" that runs from about 1 o'clock to 3 o'clock (the longest one) when looking at the inside of the cap. I used a half-moon file and removed it from one of my caps with about 12 minutes of careful filing and it fits just fine at all three positions. And it even fit EF lenses. You can use a Dremel but I like the control of hand filing. I've done all five of my caps.


Dremel works just fine with cylindrical sanding head, 30 seconds per lens cap, rinse under running water to make sure no plastic dust is hiding anywhere....
