EOS C100 Mk II lens release pin has now failed on two cameras

[jenshaulund]

Hi everyone. I have two C100 Mk II cameras that I use on a regular basis. 

Six months ago, I could not remove the lens from one of the cameras due to the pin that secures the lens not being retracted from the EF mount when pressing the release button. I sent it in for repair with the lens attached and received it back after paying $500 for the service. 

Now my second C100 Mk II has the exact same problem. The lens is stuck. According to Canon this is not a known issue.

What do you guys say - am I the only one with this issue. Looking forward to reading your comments.

Cheers,

Jens

Greetings,

Are you using a Canon lens?

Hey Rick - Yes, a Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM. Now you mention it, that was the same type of lens that was on the other camera when it failed. I've been using that lens for years. In many cases I use that type of lens on both cameras - never had an issue.
