17mm TS-E, lost Shift knob :(

i lost the Shift control knob on my 17mm TS-E. It came loose and...vanished. Finding a replacement so far yielded no results. Nothing on Ebay. Canon agent in Dubai wasn't able to source it (!!) and now I'm stuck with one very expensive, yet partially functioning lens.

any tips where I should be looking? I need to get it fixed ASAP.

cheers

Maybe look for someone who is in the tool N die industry to machine you

A knob.  Another possibility is somgroup who is into flying model aircrafts like helicopters. They make small parts all the time.

My local Canon CPS place sent me a new pack of knobs when they lost mine after a service. Might try getting in touch with them

Or try their facebook page
