Lens repairs...

[Tiggie]

Heya all,

Anyone know where to get my lens repaired? I think it needs a service cos it sometimes has trouble focussing on it's own without a little manual help.

I live in london...and jessops was my first thought but they charge you hectically just to get a QUOTE! and if i don't like hte quote that's my tough luck- i lose the cash. grrr...

thanks!!!

Sometimes you can send it back to the manufacturer, or look for an authorized repair center on the manufacturer's website. Who is the manufacturer and what model lens it it?

Sometimes the zoom lenses interior lenses get catty wompy, and causes "back focusing". Is that what is happening?
If so, just send it back to canon. That way you won't affect your warranty.
I hope you get it figured out.

backfocussing? dunno what it is i'm afraid... *blush*
not a pro or anything- just taken a few courses and trying to get better and better and learn as much as i can. been doing it for a few years only... :0)
aren't the warrentees like a year or something? cos my lens is a bit older than that i think. i got it about 2 or so years ago.

it kinda seems to struggle to focus- like it will shift left and right a bit, but wont settle on the fine focus. so normally i just give it a little twist to get it to where it should be and then it beep-beeps to say it's in focus.
but recently i had some pics developed and a lot seemed out of focus slightly. so i dunno what's up with this stupid thing.
and they aren't exactly cheap now are they!
