Canon lens service, where/how
Discussion
My 24-70L needs a service as it doesnt work, nor was it ever calibrated properly as the focus was always ever so slightly out when shooting on a tripod in macro mode.
Is it faster/cheaper to send back directly to canon, or do any dealers have a relationship with canon (who I assume does the servicing) which is faster?
Jessops said I could pop it in, the likely charge to fix the lens would be £140-£170, and would take 4 weeks. Good deal, or...? edit: the actual problem with the lens is that it simply wont auto-focus
Many thanks for any advice.
Incidentally, I also need a lens cap for that lens - any idea of price? I think I read once the lens hood was £300 or something silly in that reigon, so Im hoping I'll be able to buy a cap one at a tenth of that price although to be honest I havent yet looked.

Or you could send it to Canon Elstree. Why not get a quote from each?
