Does anyone know the cost and general turnaround time of replacing the front element of a 100-400 mk1? I was shooting with it yesterday and noticed it was really scuffed and scratched

I just had my 100-400L II front element replaced; cost was about £250 of which less than £100 was the glass, the rest was labour and 20% VAT.

Wrong country and wrong lens, but could give you a ball park idea at least.

I am interested to know from the OP and you Steve how you managed to damage the front element.

There is a deep lens hood and it takes a lot of effort to scratch the glass , no?

I am in the pro-filter side...
