Anyone have experience of sending lenses to Canon for repair?
Last week on holiday I had just reached the top of Mt Etna in Sicily via cable car and 4x4 when I tripped over a rock and fell over banging my head on another rock nearly knocking myself out. Smashed Lee polariser, step up ring and skylight filter which probably saved my 24-70 F2.8L from too much damage; filter thread will need replacing but otherwise appears to be ok. I even insisted on taking a couple of shots before seeing the doc & then driving myself to hospital to have cuts, bruises and dislocated finger seen too! Even gave me a brain scan .... apparently I do have one.
So I was wondering whether to get lens checked for de-centering too or if they'd do this as a matter of course or only if I specifically request it?
My 6D the lens was attached to seems ok too; I guess I'll ask if Canon want me to send the 6D in with the lens too.
All told, not a great day but could have been a lot worse; at least I'm here to tell the story ;)
