There is news of a problem with the new EF 24-105/4L lens. Apparantly there is a issue with flare under some circumstances. If the word on the street is to be believed, it happens with the lens at wideangle settings and large apertures when there is a strong light source at around 40 degrees from the optical axis. Many people have used this lens for 1000s of shots and had no problem, but it seems that Canon will be offering a free fix, probably starting sometime in mid-November for the US. I'm not aware of any official Canon USA press releases on this subject, but this is what a number of people have been told by Canon representatives and has been confirmed in Japan and Europe.
Вкратце:Обозначилась еще одна проблема с Кэнон 24-105. А именнно , при некоторых условиях на снимке обнаруживаются "зайцы"(паразитные отражения света). По рассказам пользователей это проявляется на широком конце, при большой диафрагме и угле падения от яркого источника света около 40град. к оптической оси объектива.
и уже ремонт бесплатный от Canon'a
As predicted below (10/22/05) Canon have announced a repair program for some early production examples of the EF 24-105/4L lenses. Details can be found on the Canon Website. Lenses with control number less than UT1000 are involved. Canon will pay all repair costs, including all shipping and handling charges. The program starts on November 14th 2005 and is available for residents of the US and Puerto Rico only. I'd assume that other Canon divisions (Europe, Asia etc.) will have their own repair programs to be announced later.
Короче ,с 14 ноября кэнон предлагает бесплатно отремонтировать эти объективы с номером меньше UT1000 , включая доставку, но пока для жителей США и Пуэрто-Рико.Программы по ремонту для Европы и Азии будут объявлены позже...
так что смотрите на номера...
