Is it worth repairing? Or is it worth seeing if will it blend?

I think I finally convinced him to just send it in and see what can happen. He also has a 85mm that the AF motor has gone out.

Maybe you should also convince him to insure his gear.

But insurances are not always meaningful to make use of for a dropped lens.
- they sometimes take age of object into account
- they may have certain percent or minimum value not covered.
- use of the insurance may affect the yearly fee to continue with the insurance
- they may not always cover clumsiness, but focusing on theft, fire etc.

I'll take it.

Please come back and let us all know how much Canon quoted (or charged) to repair it.

I'd be interested in buying both the 28mm and 85mm.

use it in the Canon loyalty program, get 20% off an order from the refurbished store on their site. Or just have fun and take it apart
