Re: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II Lemon? And help w/ Canon Repair Service...

Dang, that stinks! For what it is worth, I dropped my 24-70 f/2.8L II while doing a "Hail Mary" a few months ago. My thumb must have hit the lens release and it came loose and slammed into a wood stage from a substantial height. But it still works perfectly which indicates to me this is a pretty rugged lens.

The only thing I can suggest is sending it into an alternative Canon repair center with a note about the repeated fix attempts. It kinda sounds like a bad circuit board. I've always had good luck with the NJ location, but if you've been sending it there, maybe send it elsewhere.

Just a thought. This lens is too valuable and useful to not work properly. Good luck!
