Bought this lens from B&H in late May. Now > 30 days since purchase. Shot a bunch of video with it this week, zooming in and out of the subject action (sport). It's not smooth. What would you do about that? I haven't called B&H yet.

First call B& H and if they can't help you , contact Canon at 1-800-OK-Canon for tech support. Your lens should be under warranty.

cheers, TREVOR

Hi,

What body are you shooting with? I just purchased this lens also. From B&H, same as you. It's my first RF lens. What isn't smooth about your zoom? I'll try to compare it with mine.

Rick, the body is R5, new in April. Where in Bay Area are you? I am in Menlo Park.

Greetings,

I'm in Pacifica. My R5 C is also a recent purchase. It arrived in early June.
