Re: Scratched RF 24-105 repair cost?

I had my RF 24-105L repaired by CPS in January. They said they had to replace and entire front lens module, so it sounds like they can't just replace the front element like they did on my EF 24-105L. Expect a cost around a few hundred dollars.

My scratch wasn't as bad as yours, but I did see it if the light hit it from some angles. This is one of those things where the scratch "shouldn't" have been visible, but under some conditions it was.

Doesn't matter: the only repair is to replace it, and it's not going to be cheap. I'd suggest that you try some of the other ideas in this thread and see if you can work around it.
