Gaffer tape the lens to the camera? LOL!! What a total hoot! This HAS to be an Onion-type post, or it's invented by Nikon trolls, or the NOOBS it's happening to have NO IDEA of the proper way to hold and use a camera.I've had this happen to me once. Luckily my hood was on. The 70-200 fell of the 5D Mk2 as I was walking. Nothing broke! So now I'm always scared about walking with my lens on the camera. One thing I noticed is that when I put the lens on and I move it back and forth, it moves a little, not like solid. It's very minor. I tested it and it hasn't happened again.
If feels more solid when I put it on my T1i though. How is the fitting w/ your camera? Is this normal?
Then I saw this! Canon Lenses Are FALLING Off 5D MK2 & More (Updated).
My 24-105L just fell off my 5D mkIII and rolled into the Seine. The lens release button is way too sensitive and it is so easy to accidentally unlock without realizing it. I went to twist the zoom ring and the lens rotated and dropped off. Blogs are full of compaints of this occurance on mkii's.
This is definitely a design flaw. It's not user error. The button should be relocated or made to require more force to release or have a detent position.
It's a shame that you have to gaffer tape a $2300 lens to a $2000 camera. Be forewarned.
