so my friend bought a 17-35 f/2.8 off ebay, and did a comparsion with his 17-40 f/4 lens. he thinks it's not as sharp as the slower, newer lens - and may need to be calibrated by Canon.

anyone know of estimates for their services, or had similiar situation? thanks!

Which country ? (This is a worldwide forum)

Canon Canada will ding you about 90 - 120 bucks for basic lens service (Alignment and cleaning).. Parts will be extra..

If you want to know how much Canon will charge for something wouldn't it be a good idea to ask them rather than asking people here? Seems like common sense to me.
