Canon 70-200 won't focus? Focus Fix how to.. Try this before sending in for repair. 1 minute fix.
Amazon Cleaning Wipes - amzn.to/3PkGq0B
Tighten the screws on the base of the lens and clean the contacts with appropriate cleaning alcohol.
Hopefully this works for you too. I use my 70-200 every day so it's seen a lot of work!
In the last 24 hours I've noticed my canon 70-200 missing focus when at 70mm-80mm. I decided to investigate before sending in for repair.
As it turns out, it was very easy to fix.
Remove the lens from the body, locate the 4 screws at the base of the lens and check they're tight. Do not over tighten the screws, Be careful not to get any debris into the lens or body. I also cleaned the contacts with a alcohol wipe.
These two procedures brought the lens back to life.

Amazon Batteries - amzn.to/3ZUGclz Now in 2024 I use this light for all my projects - amzn.to/4fVcenL 580ex II, stuck in TTL problem solved. This issue was with one of my main flashes, actually the problem was with my understanding of the CF settings on the flashgun rather than the flash itself. Hopefully this will help you also: Change Custom Function 5 to 0 - Problem Solved.

    Not sure if that 4 loose screws was the main reason or was a particular case but found alot of these lenses that have issue with focus at short distance no matter the zoom range and was the af block.

    Thank you! I never would have thought about those little screws. My 70-200mm needed all the screws tightened, 2 needed 3 full turns. I couldn't believe it. I'm going to see if any of my other lenses need that done. I haven't tested it yet, but I feel like that will fix the issue.

    @JamesBastablePhotography did the issue every reoccur? I had a similar issue but mine was on C.Fn 00-0, it was slow to recycle (so not firing for each photo) and showing TTL instead of ETTL (only noticed this today). From an online website I tried C.Fn 09-1 and it worked as expected, then tried your C.Fn 05-0 and it worked as expected. I decided to go back to C.Fn 00-0 and it's working as expected and now showing ETTL

    I tried all that but after 2 or 3 clean cycles I am not printing a pattern just blank paper. I then used some towel soaked in water under print head moved the head to and fro a few times stil not printing a pattern and tried clearing again just the same. Even tried overnight with damp towel. I thave now move onto towel soaked with isopropyl under print head and I’m going try a prin head clean again. Afterthat I am out of ideas. Anybody got any suggestions?
