17-85IS lens creep?

[Bill W]

John;


I appreciate your input, but you have diverted the point of my original question in this thread.


I don't have concerns about this lens' IQ, or how to hold the lens, or set up to take sharper photos, etc.....my concern/question is strictly about the creep and getting this lens repaired.


Also, the only blessings I'd need for a purchase of a new lens, would be my wife's [] .....but my 17-85 and 100-400 cover my photographic needs quite nicely.


Regards


Bill

You're right Bill, sorry: Went off on a tangent. Repair pricesvary. If you're going to get your lens repaired, make sure the shop is reputable and stands behind its work. Some shops are way better than others (check them out). You need a firm estimate. Don't pay anything up front.Then it's just a matter of deciding if the cost is worth it to you. If it's L-glass, it might be. Your EF-S might not. If it were me...well, we've been down that road already.
