<p>Hi Al, no argument from me, though I suspect my pal would say something similar about his Nikon, now that the lens seat has detached itself from the body. I think we're now, generally, in the new Age of Shoddy.</p>

<p>This was helpful, but I've got to say that having this happen on my new 7D after just a few months is very disappointing. Having bought a camera one reviewer described as "industry changing" only to find out how cheaply this part is made--and, further, that this is a long-standing problem that Canon simply has not addressed makes me feel like I own something kind of cheap, and flimsy. This has cast a bit of apall over my opinion on Canon products. This is very disappointing. But thanks for the tips.</p>
