Out of interest, for those who’ve upgraded to f/w 1.5.2 - have you experienced a lock-up?

For my part I’ve gone from f/w 1.3.1 to 1.5 to 1.5.2. Zero lock-ups (so far!).

Aa well as voting, any other comments, or observations are also welcome.

Setup R5 + RF 100-500, BBF, Servo, Eye tracking (often +1.4 and 2x RF converters)

Sony Tough 128Gb CF Express Card

no issues with FW 1.4

numerous lockups with FW1.5 rolled back to FW1.4

numerous lockups with FW 1.5.1 (in fact I thought it made it worse with more frequent lockups - rolled back to FW 1.4

(zero lockups when reverting back to shutter button focus on FW 1.5 or 1.5.1)

regularly contact with CPS (UK) who asked for my settings but couldn’t replicate the problem, though they saw nothing untoward about my settings.

Reset the camera, updated to 1.5.2 and re-loaded the settings I sent to Canon.

Now the good news….

I’ve taken 3000+ shots since installing 1.5.2
Camera has been flawless and ZERO lockups (including with converters) and not only that I honestly feel the AF is better than ever. The camera is a joy to use again.

Hope others have an equally positive outcome.
