Thanks.

Nov 12, 2012 12:03 | #18 sml wrote in post #15236399 Thanks for all the responses....including the "humorous" ones! However, I think what I am trying to determine is whether or not it literally pays to have it repaired. That is, does it have to be sent back to Canon and how much do they (or anyone!) charge for the repair. Trying to weigh whether it is worthwhile to fix. Of course, it won't make a difference if I just decide to keep it...it doesn't matter to me when I'm using it. Just for the overall value, so to speak. Leaving it off may make your stuff slightly less targeted by thieves... Gripped 7D, gripped, full-spectrum modfied T1i (500D), SX50HS, A2E film body, Tamzooka (150-600), Tamron 90mm/2.8 VC (ver 2), Tamron 18-270 VC, Canon FD 100 f/4.0 macro, Canon 24-105 f/4L,Canon EF 200 f/2.8LII, Canon 85 f/1.8, Tamron Adaptall 2 90mmf/2.5 Macro, Tokina 11-16, Canon EX-430 flash, Vivitar DF-383 flash, Astro-Tech AT6RC and Celestron NexStar 102 GT telescopes, various other semi-crappy manual lenses and stuff.

I remember that there was a lot of complaining about the cost for something so minor but it was what it was.... And all other instances I have ever read about the red ring breaking were also with the 24-105. So you are not the first. http://www.google.com …=1366&bih=571&safe=active John Very interesting! I never heard of that before.... Steve L

I went to pick up my 24-105 from the shelf yesterday...haven't used it in weeks. As I did, the ring came off. Looks like it cracked and split apart somehow. Is it worth it to get it repaired? Where and how? Thanks. does this mean is a knock-off??? EOS R6’ / 1D X / 1D IV (and the wife has a T4i)

Anyway, sent it to Canon repair under my CPS Gold 30% discount. The end price was something like $132. Apparently the entire filter assembly needs to be replaced (or at least that is what they did).
