Broken LENS!!!? What to do??? VA/DC?
a friend broke his it is a 70-200mm IS f2.8 L Series Canon using a crappy old tripod.
The camera took a full dive from 5 feet on to pavement due to a leg collapsing. The lens took the brunt of the impact.
This cracked the UV filter and the upper part of the lens. Also the focus seems to not work. This is an $1800 lens and my question is if anyone knows about the repair possibilities?
He lives in virginia near DC
unfortunately the regular tripod was broken so there was just nothing else to do.
In most cases that I have read like this, Canon will not usually bother trying to fix it. The man hours and time spending fixing, checking, realigning and testing the lens is a lot. The cost?, usually more than buying a new lens.
I may be wrong here, and of course you should check.. But your friend may have learned a very hard lesson here about crappy tripods.
