Re: Canon L lens failures

Thanks for the responses. I've had the 100-400L repaired at least 4x since 2001 and Canon was very helpful and there was no charge for at least one of the repairs. Most of the issues I've had with breakdowns and service have been recent. I switched from Nikon to Canon in 1995 because of shutter issues with the Nikons, so no equipment is perfect. However, first the red ring came off the 24-105, then the rubber zoom ring came loose, then the err-01 code. Seems the lens was literally falling apart. I'm as gentle with the equipment as possible, but it does get heavy use. I guess I'll factor extended warranties into the cost of the lenses in the future.
