85mm f/1.4L IS Image Stabilizer Parking
1

Recently noticed that my 85mm is "loose" when moving it in and out of camera bag, and I've never encountered that in my other IS lenses, including big whites. I remounted the lens to a camera and power cycled the camera to let the lens park its IS mechanism. It was normal after that. Unlike Nikon's mechanical mount connections, I always thought it is safe to unmount a Canon lens without power down the camera until now.

Does this lens have a different stabilizer design? There was a lot of stuff shaking inside, and I never purposely powered down the camera for lens swap with other lenses.
