I have attached it to my D60 and later, a 7D, both of which gave me the same error code, unable to communicate with lens. I cleaned contacts as directed with an eraser but to no avail. I had called Canon regarding a possible repair. They said that they will no longer repair this lens due to the lack of parts..

jrsamples Senior Member 436 posts Likes: 5 Joined Nov 2007 More info | Well... I'm definitely no expert when it comes to finding repair facilities but there is a seller on ebay that has alot of nos parts for defunct canon lenses. And... apparently they will do the work as well. Quick search on ebay for "canon 20-35 repair" found him as well as quite a few parts. Here is a link for the repair search:

I recently acquired this lens locally. I haven't really gotten much opportunity to use this lens but here is one of my first photos with it.  Bell Tower-3 by CameronH82, on FlickrThis lens will hold me off from buying a 24L...at least for now. 500px

are there any options other than junking it? This lens has been very meticulously cared for in a temperature controlled environment throughout its life, I hate to see it dead.
