Last time I check, the cost of a CLA for this lens runs about 160 bucks at Canon repair center. If I were you, I would test shoot it before sending it. If the results are ok, just keep shooting. A few dust won't affect much of your image. :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Lovda" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2005 2:46 PM Subject: EOS "Tune-up" costs for 70-200mm L lens at Canon Service
