It's a 24-105 F/4L and a 5DMKII mate. The lens was fine, took 800-1000 shots with it since repaired

Thanks for the advice folks, have taken it up with Canon just waiting for a reply. Darryl

I sent the lens to Canon Elstree who then forwarded it on to Lehmanns who then done the "repair" Cheers Suz... I'll keep them in mind should anything else untoward happen.

They don't know why mate, all they're interested in is getting more cash.....

That's my point mate, I'm asking them to calibrate it but at no charge to myself what with it being such a short space of time and lack of use. Am I not being inconsiderate in thinking that if it has been repaired and a fault occurs related to the repair then it should be dealt with???

I have done mate and this is their quoted response... "Ok all I can confirm is the focus requires attention which we can do at the estimate cost"

so How long would you expect a warranted canon repair to last then?? Would you be happy buying an L lens, having it repaired then sent back every year for work doing related to the same repair?? I think not!

Has anyone else had this from H Lehmanns?? I sent a canon L lens for repair in Nov 12 where it has a new focus drive fitted and was calibrated within the repair at a cost of over £220. Since then it has been used for a max of 1000 shots. Only till last weekend when I was shooting a friend...

Just an update on this, sent it to Canon RCC, who have then forwarded it to Lehmans with a return price of £220 for the repair.... New AF Drive & flex needed at £66..... The rest is labour :-O Darryl

Wow.... I hope the service is as quick for mine.... Darryl

Cheers for the info, it's getting packaged and sent to Canon RCC Darryl

Thanks got the reply, sadly I'm not a member, I'll give fixation a go.... Darryl

Hi all I wonder if anyone could recommend a decent lens repair company with a good turn around. My 24-105mm L developed a fault on Saturday 3/4 way through a wedding and need to get it sorted ASAP cheers in advance Darryl

The overall thing I've learnt with photography is there's no right and wrong, each tog has their own way of doing it if it works for them then great! In this genre of photography it's the B&G you are aiming to please... No one else.

Full Kudos to you then mate..... My mate and I have a few weddings this year starting in March & our first "international" shoot in Malta in September.....:yes: Darryl
