Canon warns of defective focusing in some EF 24-105mm F4L IS II lenses

19 May

Canon has issued a service notice for a collection of lenses with specific serial numbers that need to be checked for faulty focusing systems. The lens affected is the EF 24-105mm F4L IS II USM standard zoom, but users are advised that only particular production batches have the problem.

Canon says that some units with serial numbers beginning with 48, 49, 50 or 51 suffer from poor focusing when used with an AF point close to the edges of the host camera’s focusing array. The fault is only apparent when the lens is used at wide-angle focal lengths.

All defective lenses will be taken back for testing and repair at no cost to the owner, the company says. The Canon website carries a service section that allows owners of the lens to type in the serial number of their lens to check whether it will need to be returned.
For more information see the Canon USA, Europe or Asia service pages, or those for your local area.
