70-200 took one for the team

Repair cost for the 70-200mm, 300 bucks minus $40 for CPS membership. About what I figured.

Sounds like you had a rough month. Not too bad though, as it could have been much worse.

Yea and I still have to buy another nice UV filter to finish of this mishap. I am shocked though that the lens body was not scratched up. Other then the filter there was no damage on the lens anywhere. When it fell it hit the concrete and then slid across the black top. Its truly a blessing that it did not get more damaged as it would suck to spend the repair money and still get back a cosmetically damaged lens. I am anal about the thing I own where damaged area drive me nuts!
