I have a Canon Rebel XS which I got over three years ago. Recently I purchased a Canon 24-70mm lens from Amazon. At first, it worked great. But then (after the warranty expired) I began to get the Error 99 message. I cleaned the contact points and updated the firmware, but the error continued. Fortunately, it only comes up immediately after the camera has been turned on and I take the first picture. Then I take out the battery and the camera and lens work fine. It is a pain and I would prefer not to deal with it. My other lenses do not give this error and I tried the lens on two other Canon camera bodies belonging to a friend (5D II and 5D III) and the lens performs beautifully without the error. So it seems like there is some error between my camera body and this particular lens. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do?
