This is kind of a two part question, predicated on the desire to upgrade my old 20D. I'm curious to hear from Canon users (the few of you out there) what body you use for this lens. In my case it's an older non-DG lens.
My concern is that newest bodies may pose some compatibility issues. I had a chance to try a 7D Mk2 briefly in the field with a fellow birder, and after a few shots with my 500 EX his body froze up with some error code that required removing the battery to reset. I don't know if this was a fluke or what. It did work for a handful of shots before throwing the error. I plan on buying used anyway, so if I have to settle on an older gen body I'll be okay, since just about anything is going to be an improvement over the dinosaur I'm using now.
So yeah, A) what body do you use currently, and B) has anyone else experienced compatibility issues between this lens and newer Canon bodies?
