That is odd, do you have a second body to confirm it isn't specific to the camera? If it's not the body, it may very well be the design of the lens. Getting a new copy and seeing the same aberration at a very specific and uncommon focal range and aperture... it may have slipped past the QC.

Curious to see if others are seeing this on their copies.

He said that the defect followed the lens to an R6.

Given the type of change to the image it would seem to be optical and that is only at certain focal lengths.

Sounds like a job for Canon to fix and also why a new lens is full of dust.

the lens took one trip to Kenya and while there is dust, it was not crazy and  I cover the camera when not in use. So…after one trip if it was dusty that doesn’t bode well for the seal. My 100-400 was used on dozens of trips - when I had it serviced there was no mention of dust.  I found it odd…and odd that they would blame a dot like this on dust.
