My EOS 7D MkII with an EF-S 17-85mm lens came out of my camera bag yesterday morning in preparation for some church photography. Switched GPS to enable, and framed the 1st shot - failed, and screen showed "Err 01 Communication between camera and lens is faulty. Clean the lens Contacts". I did vaguely clean them, no good, another go and eventually it worked again, but not for long. Changed lens and all was well. Came home, a serious clean fine brush and a slight meths wipe. Failed again, but then worked fine for some useless indoor snaps for a long time. This morning it failed again ..... - and so it goes on. The camera and all other lenses are fine, it is just the 17/85 lens I'm sure. Canon help desk sympathized but suggested a week observing performance before sending for repair.
Could not get hold of Nina Bailey yesterday, so thought of this forum, and blow me I seem to be the first to mention "Err 01" as a search fails to find it! I'm honoured!
Has anyone had this problem? If so any answers? If I will have to send for repair it would be to Lehmann at Stoke-on-Trent as I have had experience of their work before.
Shall look forward to some responses.

Myrddin Jones
