Camera & Lens repair/service

[Amnesia180]

Hi all,

I have a Canon EOS 20D and a number of lenses. However, one of the lenses I liked to use a lot is the Sigma 24-70. However, it seems to have stopped working!

The camera has not been used in a couple of years, and I feel it will be in need of a service.

However, can anyone recommend anywhere that I can send my equipment to that will do a good job and are reasonably priced?

Many thanks!
Amnesia

I dropped a canon 17-40L into a stream few months ago, sent it to the lensdoctor in Glasgow - cost £212 to repair but got it back looking like a new lens - not sure about cameras but he is the official repairer to the BBC. http://www.thelensdoctor.co.uk/ -

I'm in Norfolk too. I suggest ACS in Watton.

Failing that, Colchester Cameras, or possibly Canon's own service centre at Elstree, Herts. Sigma HQ is Welwyn Garden City.

Thanks all for the reply.

I've decided to get my lens fixed, but keep the camera as it is. The EOS 20D is now 14 years old (I can't believe I purchased mine nearly 13 years ago!!). However, once I've brushed the cobwebs and got my lens sorted, I'll see how I get on and maybe treat myself to a new DSLR later in the year.
