+1 Agree. This level of equipment isn't built anywhere near the standards of L lenses or 1D bodies!

I baby mine, and haven't had any issues yet (knock on wood!).

Good luck with the repair,

No, but equally they have nothing like the mass of L lenses, and mass is not good when dropping lenses.

Fact is it's the luck of the draw. If you drop a lens, you run a strong risk of decanting elements at the very least
