I am posting this here because I am a sports photog and the problem is with my 300mm f/2.8. I am hoping someone else has had this problem.

Canon Equipment: I have always had the occasional lock-up with my 300mm where it get's a communication error message (see subject line). Usually I just remount the lens and it works. This time, no joy. I have tried the camera with other lens and there is no problem. I have tried 3 different cameras with this lens and they are all locking up and giving me the same error. I have wiped down the contacts on the lens with no luck.

Has anyone out there run into this problem??? Did you find a way to correct it yourself?? If so how??

Middle of football season and I really don't want to have to send my 300mm back to canon!!

thanks, Kevin
