Re: R5 and R shutting down when zooming adapted 24-70 2.8L II

The closest I've had to it was a third party lens (Tamron 24-70 G2) that seemed OK when used through the OVF but when in liveview suffered from rapidly fluctuating aperture (despite being set wide open), followed about 30 secs later by a comms error. Needless to say the lens went back and I ended up getting a nice used 24-70 2.8L II which has been utterly dependable.

Fingers crossed for a painless fix from Canon. I'd be very interested to hear what they say about the nature of the fault.
