Re: Is it possible to have a lens recoated??

I agree it would be very costly to have it recoated, much simpler to just replace the front glass. Canon service probably does it a lot already due to lens drops breaking the front lens or them getting scratched.

Then again, I'm one of the fans that thinks it's just cheaper to replace a multicoated filter.. then you don't have to worry at all about the factory coatings.. That's why I use a filter, more for the lens surface protection than as a drop protector. So far I've never had to even clean the orginal front glass or touch it since I got any of mine, they get the filter minutes after coming out of the box.
