Hi there,

I dropped my lens (Canon 24-70 f2.8 mk1) from around 1,8 metres while adjusting my tripod, i think the camera was not secured properly. So far nothing is broken. but the zoom ring is sort of stiff around 24-30mm, and it makes a horrible sound, much like the sound ski pants make while "grinding" together. I am very sure something is not right, but i would like some help as to what it could be, so i can figure out what i will do with the lens.

Thanks!

Regards, Asger

In had a similar mishap a few years back (2009) while in Tuscany, It. I didn't secure tripod correctly and the rig fell EF-s 10-22mm lens firsts on the ancient tile floor. Busted pretty good. I sent it to Canon for repair, then they sent me an estimate for repair. $99 US then. A few days later a package arrived with a brand new version of the lens. Nice deal, I thought.

So if I were you I would first call Canon service, they will give you a job number, send it in and they will contact you with an estimate for repair. Decide then if you think the price is worth it.

And then let us know the result. It would be interesting to know if Canon Service is still s awesome as they were back then.

those good ol' days.....sigh
