Canon 7 lens mount loose

[Chad]

I noticed that the lens mount on my Canon 7 was just a little bit loose. I was able to jiggle my lens and mount ever so slightly. I checked the four screws that hold the lens mount to the body and three of them where loose. Are these screws prone to loosening? Should I put loctite on them?



thanks

I found that I had to tighten mine and a Canon VI-T as well, after they came back from a CLA. After that, they've been good. However, i left the jewelers screwdrivers in the camera bag. I chose to not use anything to keep them in place, I've stripped too many scews on other cameras.

Give it a try after tightening. The RF patch is a good indicator if the lens mount has slipped.

Good idea, I think I'll get a spare jewler's screwdriver set for the bag.



thanks
