Had to send in the 70-200 to canon and they fixed it for 250.00. The actual lens did not get a scratch on it which was pretty amazing because I was running when my backpack zipper gave out. Filter ring got smashed in and canon threw it away because it did not come back with it. If the lens had gotten scratched up with road rash from the concrete then my heart really would have been broken because I would be reminded every time I continued to pick it up.

I do need a new filter but income is difficult to come by at the moment. I'll check back when things pick up here.
