Hi Ron, I think that all of the EF 50 1.4USM lenses do it, both of mine have done it since new and my EF 85 1.8USM and EF 100 2USM both did the same thing to a lesser degree. My old metal mount EF 50 1.8 series I doesn't do it though and none of my remaining other lenses (EF 15 2.8, EF 300 4L IS, EF 300 2.8L, EF 16-35 2.8L, EF 28-70 2.8L, EF 28-105 3.5-4.5USM, EF 70-200 2.8L IS), do it at all. HTH!
