->> I had to replace some screws on my 1D before. Found the correct size at two places----an eyeglass store & a hardware store.
Good luck! |

| ->> The tiny, black screws for the lens mount can come loose every once and a while. I have a piece of black gaff over mine. Canon Repair or Parts should send you out a baggie of them no problem though. You shouldn't need to be a CPS member. |

| ->> I used to rattle screws out of my old Nikon film bodies all the time. Having spares is nice, but blue Loctite on the screws prior to putting them in solves the problem. Don't get red Loctite or those screws will be permanent. Alternately, a dab of clear nail polish on top of the tightened screw has also been reported to work well. |

->> I have the same problem, and seeing this post prompted me to take action. I contacted Canon support via email and here is the response I got:

->> Sarafin, Ryan,
I just replaced the same exact screws in one of my Mk IIN's and I had to order some screws for my 400 2.8 lens where the lens mounts to the body.
Make sure when you contact them that you and the representative confirm what screws you need. They have the IPB there on computer and can track the right size down.
Ditto on using blue not red Loctite.
I ordered two scews for the body and two for the lens and was sent four screws for the lens and two extra for the body. The cost was around 8 bucks shipping and all. A bargain when you KNOW you have the right parts.
BTW, the scewdriver size is a 1.4 Phillips metric in a jewelers' size I believe. The screws are also designed with a dual slot, meaning you can use a common flat blade jewelers' screwdriver. I would encourage you to check the screws in all your lenses in that as they start to back out, the lens will not seat properly against the body and will prevent locking. If the lens can't lock, guess what ? It won't work.
Good Luck,
Jim
Good luck,
Jim |
