The fault was basically that the aperture control mechanism went awry, jamming the lens to the mount. The lenses were also new (one with a 19 the other with a 35-70). It was not easy to get them fixed in a reasonable amount of time without kicking up a fuss but now for almost a week now I have them both in working order and they are indeed a pleasure to use. I am not however planning to replace or sell off my extensive EOS system any time soon though... IMHO the only reason to use the R system is the lenses. That is however a pretty good reason...
