Service Notice: Lens Flare Advisory
Update
We have recently discovered a problem with early production samples of the EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens in which flare occurs at an unacceptable level under certain conditions. The flare is most obvious in the wide zoom and wide aperture settings. (See attached picture.)
The problem affects all EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM lenses with a control number less than UT1000. With apologies for the inconvenience involved, we ask customers to check the control number on the back of the lens.
Products
Affected model and control numbers:
EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM
The control number is indicated on the back cover of the lens with UTxxxx symbol (see the number in the red ellipse on the right), and if it contains the letters UT followed by a number under 1,000, the product is affected. Should you have any difficulty identifying the control number, please contact our service centers |
Starting November 14, 2005, Canon will repair, free of charge, EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM lenses exhibiting the above-mentioned flare problem. Canon will also cover the cost of shipping and handling in connection with this repair.
