Canon EOS lens-detection switch

Does anyone know how this is solved in newer bodies? Since the lever
is not present anymo is the switch short-circuited, or is there
another mechanical part that detects the lens?

Regards, Stefan.

Oh really Troll,
After repairing Canon's for 28 years, and going for factory training for all
that time, I'm so glad you enlightened me.

The lens switch lever is usually the problem!
This switch was on all models up to and not including the Canon A2.

Looking at the front of your camera without the lens on,under the
bayonet mount at about the 10 o'clock position there is plastic lever
that closes a switch (AF interlock). The pivoting pin of this lever
is most likely broken. Any decent camera repair shop can replace it.
But, first make sure the gold contact pins are clean and none of the
pins are stuck down. They should be up and springy.

There has never been any mechanical interface of ANY kind between Canon EF
lenses and EOS bodies. It is a purely electronic interface.
