The AF stop button barrel on the below listed lenses can be rotated plus or minus 10%. This enables us to reposition all four stop buttons to a new position comfortable to the user. (NOTE: Buttons cannot be moved independently from each other.)

Price: $40.00 Labor + Tax and Shipping/Handling

Product:
EF 300/2.8L ISU
EF 400/2.8L ISU
EF 500/4.0L ISU
EF 600/4.0L ISU

Custom Function 19 on the EOS 3 for EF300/400/500/600 LIS Lenses: The ultra telephoto L-series EF lenses, launched in early July 1999, have a new function called "AF Stop" withfour "AF Stop" buttons on the lens. The EOS 3 can use these new AF Stop buttons for other functions by setting CF19 (custom function). CF19 is, however, not established when the camera is shipped from the factory, so the setting must be done at service facilities.

Product: Combination EOS 3 with 300/400/500/600 IS
