During a clean of my gear yesterday i was alarmed to notice all four screws on the lens plate of my Canon 70-200 f2.8L IS II were loose! :eek:
Now i know from reading up in the past that i'll need a JIS screwdriver to properly tighten the screws up. For now i've just taken the slack up with a philips!
After doing a bit of googling, i've found out i need a #00 JIS, but i've only found one for sale on Amazon (£5 + £5 delivery from Germany) for a single #00 or £20 for a set from the US on .
I won't be using the lens until the screws can be tightened so i was wondering if anyone knows a UK supplier of JIS drivers?
 
Yep - Micro-tools - took about 4 days (including the weekend) - fiquired I may as well get the set.
 
An engineer at work had a set i borrowed, so the screws are nice and tight again!
Wondering if i should of used a spot of threadlock compound (loctite) on them?
Another quick search turned up someone else reporting loose screws on their Canon 70-200 lens plate! Seems utterly bizarre that 4 tiny screws hold all that weight of the lens!?!?
