Well not really crashed, but I dropped my Canon 15mm fisheye and now the focus ring/AF doesnt work.
What do I do? I'd really appreciate it if you'd tell me its an easy fix and I can send it to Canon and be a happy camper (like this guy :cool

Sep 22, 2010 08:28 | #11 I can't say much for the cost of repairing/replacing the lens - but I will say that insurance for cam gear is relatively cheap and probably the best thing one can really do once they've got some gear. I have a rider for my gear and it runs $16 a year for every $1.5k of replacement cost. it's a no deductible - no questions asked policy. They take a copy of the receipt for the gear (they'll even take the paypal/ebay copys if you buy used gear) I look at it this way - at $32 a year for my stuff. it'll take 10 years to make up for even my cheapest piece to pay for itself. I've had to use it once so far. and I have to say the experience was painless. Gripped 80D,10-18 STM, 55-250 IS STM, 15-85 IS USM, 85 1.8, 10-400 II, 430 EX II
