For me the closest is Singapore @ Canon Service Center
It cost of Cmos "dust off" cleaning USD15.00
Lens it depends of what nature recently spend USD250 repairing 16-35 all USM replace it took 1 week.
Almost forget Cmos "dust off " will taje 30 mins
I am in Australia Melbourne
In Australia they dont have canon center?
Just a thought:with all that gear there is a chance you might be able to be a member of the Canon Professional Services. As part of the membership (free, go on their website) I got a free sensor cleaning, which would have cost me about £65 at my local Canon Service Center for a full frame sensor.
If your gears are under the 1 year warranty, service is free. Here in the US, sensor cleaning at Canon Irvine, CA is $30, anything else has a fixed initial charge of $180.
If it ain't broken, don't fix it![:D]. If you gears are working fine, I don't see a reason sending them in.
