<< A while back I'd mentioned on the List that I was having some dust particle
problems under the front lens element of my 28-135 IS. I said I was going
to inquire with Canon about cleaning costs and a couple of folks asked that
I pass that information along when I did. After noticing yet *another*
larger particle had lodged in the lens recently, I finally got around to
calling Canon today.
The Canon service rep (at the Canon Factory Service Center in Irvine,
California) said cleaning the lens would cost $110 if there were no other
problems. Or, as I figure, about a quarter of the cost of a new 28-135 IS.
I guess too, my question at this point is about how long would it take a
trained technician to perform this service? It just seems like a lot of
money to blow some dust particles out of a lens.

HI Gary,
It's not the cost I'd be afraid of - but what may happen to the lens - I
recall several people, here, on the list talked about having their lenses
(28-105, I think) sent in for cleaning and upon return lenses didn't perform
as well as before. So, be careful!!!!
