Re: EOS "Tune-up" costs for 70-200mm L lens at Canon Service

[bud kuenzli]

why as here?  call Canon. From recent comments it sounds like about 
$175 but until you tell Canon specifically what you want done you 
won't know. They won't fix the paint, is my guess, and if you aren't 
getting any errors I wouldn't worry about the contacts personally. I 
think this falls into the "if it ain't broke.." department myself.


I recently bought a used 70-200mm L (non-IS) lens on
ebay that was owned by a freelance newspaper
photographer.  There is paint wear and wear on the
gold electrical contacts but the lens is overall in
nice condition.  The glass is perfect.
If I were to send the lens to a Canon Service Center
for a general inspection, removal of internal dust,
lubrication and replacement of the contacts and the
distance window (it has a little crack), roughly what
kind of money are we talking about?  I am going to
make the assumption there is nothing broken or worn
inside.  Just wondering if I can afford it.
Thanks,
John Lovda
