Hi,

I have been using an EF100-400mm L (mark I) for the last few years now (on and off) and hadn't used it for a while.

Today I took it out for a spin and noticed a serious "clunk" each time the stabiliser kicked in (and stopped for that matter).

I am talking a serious metallic kind of clunk that is very much audible and can also be felt when putting your hand around the front of the barrel!

Now I am quite sure that this clunk was not there on the past and am wondering if this is the first step in the failing process of my IS?

A good chance. My bluray player started to "clunk " and now can't load/play a disc.

Do any of you, who have used an EF100-400, ever had this happening to their lens, and if so, what was the end result...?

Thanks!!
