My much used Canon 70-200 2.8 IS (mark 1) has become faulty in that it won't focus and the focusing ring doesn't change the focus either (either through the viewfinder nor on the range window). IS works, if the subjects at the right distance or its in manual focus mode then the aperture works/camera fires etc
Called the local Canon authorized repairer and they advise that Canon stopped support for the mark 1 a while ago and whilst I could send it to them and pay for an inspection the other recent "focus fault" lenses they've seen were all deemed unrepairable due to lack of parts (but it wasn't a technical person I was speaking to) and so they recommended saving my money.
Does anyone know of a good repairer for Canon who does things on a no fix, no fee type basis or simply is better at dealing with out of production items?
