Took my some of my gear (key gear)_ to a canon service center.

My 1dmkII severely needed a good sensor cleaning. Im not in the US, so im deprived from the lovely world of online-instant-shopping. My rocket blower did not blow off 4 sticky specks of dust. Plus I asked them to service too.

Kinda tough to live with those specks when I stop down to f/16 and narrower for my macro lenses.

Gave my 135 L too because it had a focus problem. I mentioned it a few months ago on the forum. basically its a focusing problem from closest focusing distance to about 7 meters away. It will not instantly focus. It will get jittery and then stop, having to release focus button, focus again, it will focus a little more then stop and then after the third attempt it will focus. Focusing between 7 meters and infiniti is perfect.

Also gave my ts-e 24 L for re-orientation. Would any one believe ive had it since January and never used it. Just because it wasnt oriented properly. I want to maximise DoF while tilting up. It shifts down but tilts left~right.
Or shifts left/right but tilts up~down. Problem is I stripped the screw head while tryin to re-orient it myself. YES, I did get the proper screw size (00) as mentioned on the lovely online guide. But my luck was bad, Canon screwed the screws on really really tight.

Hopefully things will be ready in a week. I just hope they dont have a tought time with the stripped screw :(

I feel naked
