I am going to send off my lenses before i go away and wondered which was the best place for them to be cleaned?
Cheers,

Which lenses have you got that need cleaning?

 

[Luke_Herts]

canon 100-400mm IS.

Fixation or Calumet ?

What sort of cleaning does it need? Why can't you do it yourself?

 

[Luke_Herts]

I want it all unscrewed etc and dust removed.

I use Fixation in Vauxall for sensor cleaning, I'm sure they would do a grand job on lenses, it must be pretty bad to need cleaning internally though. Even with the "dust pump" action I haven't got any dirt/dust in my 100-400.

It isnt bad just thought if i sell it etc gives a new lease of life.

As you live in St.Albans, you could always take it directly back to the main Canon repair and service centre - rather than trusting it in the mail system.

Canon Service Centre
Unit 130, Centennial Park
Elstree
Herts.
WD6 3SE

You can call Canon Free on 00 800 22 66 67 67 (I think it is then option one and then option three and you can then talk directly to the service center and get an estimate )
