Has anyone here ever replaced a front element of their lens?

Just wondering how much it costs on average... I had a dream last night that the front element of my 85L got scratched

It varies on the lens. I think the 14L is crazy expensive due to the type of element. Something like $600?

But I think for the 85L it probably would be around $450 maybe?

I had a dream the other day that I was standing on a whale watching boat, holding my camera out from the rails, and it slipped from my fingers and fell into the ocean :'(
