I have used Sanford camera repair on mass ave. in Arlington for two lens repairs and was satisfied by both. Haven't given them a body to repair.

When needed to service my lens, I just shipped it to Tamron in NJ. Without asking for that, they turned it around in four days including shipping. If I need to do it again, I will not bother with looking for a local outfit.

Same with the camera. Canon turned it around in a week. However, it was not exactly inexpensive, but that's another story.

yeah, i don't know why you'd go for a local repair center, instead of straight from the manufacturer...tamron just announced a 3-day turn around on their repairs...and canon is usually about a week from shipping to back in your hands

Thanks for giving your experiences. I saw doing a google search how Tamron's turn around was great...

Cool deal!! BTW got the lens back from Tamron and looks brand new. Price was reasonable also.
