My Canon Rebel SL1 is moving around inside the case lens area and is scratching the DiCAPac's lens...is there a way to keep that from happening?

The original kit came with foam shims. I used them to lock the camera into positionThis reduced the movement greatly

I used some of the packing material from the package itself...some foam padding to prop up the camera so the lens is centered in the bag. I think I also wrapped some thin foam AROUND the lens and used a rubber band to hold it in place (I havent used it in a year or so at this point)

It might be feasible to try EasyCover's lens kit to prevent this from happening. It provides a rubber ring that screws onto the front of the lens to protect the rim. However, I am not sure if the rubber would have too much traction inside the case, which could degrade the autofocusing ability.

Try sucking the air our before you close it that way it's a tight fit and if that dosent work try adding some foam around it.

I would suggest adding something like a rag on top of or below the camera to secure it better.

The lens pull didn't work for me so I tried the "hit the camera" method. Worked like a charm. I simply held the camera vertical and smacked the top of the camera a few times and then flipped it over and smacked it a few times. Works great!

O. Leparra I have an A75 that is doing the same thing. Out of nowhere the lens refuses to retract fully. I called Canon Owner Loyalty Program and they are taking it in trade for an SD1000 and $100.00. You might be able to trade up as well.

The threaded metal part mounted to the case MUST rotate to secure it to the camera. If it doesn't , the case is defective. Force it. You have nothing to lose. Good luck.

Sorry, I can't help with that. Perhaps you should contact the seller. I found them very helpful. I can say the case is sturdy, and the threads are metal. I would worry more about losing or damaging the lenses rather than the case.

Do you have a filter on the lens? If so, try it with no filter. Something might be interfering with lens movement.

I have the same camera, and I also have the same problem!!If you find a case please let me know!!

Exactly, I have the same experience. Once the lens focusing is a bit stiffer then the follow focus jumps up and down.The only solution is to replace this follow focus with the one without the quick release, as I did and I am quite satisfied now:Fotga upgrade DP500IIS dampen follow focus with A/B hard stop for DSLR CameraFotga upgrade DP500IIS dampen follow focus with A/B hard stop for DSLR Camera

It could be that a tiny obstacle has entered your camera and caused this, or that the mechanics of the cover have been compromised, or that there's a glitch in the 'computer' workings of the camera. I have seen this in many other makes and models, and if your warranty doesn't cover it then try to manually move it one way or the other. Most likely a spring came loose. Bummer, though.

I have the same equipment. The situation you describe is not normal in any lens mounted in any camera. But this combination lens/camera use to do it. Put the lens and the camera on manual focus, because the autofocus in this lens on this camera is a nightmare. But in manual mode, this lens is pristine, wonderful.

The outermost lens element of my G-10 is now scratched, all scratches aligned in the same direction. I'm not completely sure, but I suspect dirt or dust got caught between the external lens aperture (the thing that functions like an eyelid when the camera powers-off) and the lens element. I'll be sending it to Canon shortly.

I had the same concern for a long trip, so I separately bought a lens cover with a short cord to keep it attached to the camera. However, I didn't have any problem as long as I was careful to keep it either in a case or in a separate compartment in my purse.

Not on either the surface of the lens (back or front), nor anyplace inside the lens. Check to see if there is anything on the surface, although even if there was it should be out of focus. Are you seeing this through the viewfinder of your camera (or LCD display), or when you look through the lens (detached from the camera)? If you do not see it with another lens on the LCD display, then the problem is with this new lens. If you do see it with other lenses, then possibly dirt on the camera's sensor. In either case, try to exchange the product.

I had an older one that was and has been perfect- Still working great- with a scratched lense- Purchased a new one- Not worth having- buttons fell off etc. When strapped tightly to arm- did not work as well as a little loose- good luck.

The answers here are good, the dust may be on the camera sensor, not on the lens. If the dust is truly inside the lens, you will need to have it professionally cleaned. If you just bought the lens, the cost of that should be covered in your warranty. Talk to Canon. I had another lens cleaned recently and their turnaround time was just a few days.

The lens retracts fully into the body of the camera, then there is a built in lens cover that closes like tiny hangar doors. Keep it in a little neoprene case and it'll be just fine.

Never noticed it one way or another, prob only an issue if you are shooting video and using the built in mic. If you think it is abnormal find a photo store that stocks it and AB it with another lens. That's assuming you live in a city large enough to have a camera shop that stocks Tokina lenses.......
