85 mm 1.2 Broken!!

Hi guys...

Yesterday I dropped my canon 85 mm 1.2 from my hand and into the floor, only a drop of approx. 30 cm, but anyway now I can see that a piece glass is "loose" near the mount ( not broken, just loos ), and a litte "ring" is broken, Im having trouble unscrewing the screws, so im not going to remove the piece of glass removing it so that it might not scratch the other glas inside.

ok so here's the question: Does anyone have any thoughts about if its dead, or its possible to fix things like that and does parts exsist to fix indsides of lenses like that.

Plz Help, im out of my mind, this lens really was my baby....

Mj, Denmark

absolutely fixable. Just not by you. Send it to Canon Service.

don't try this at home......send it to Canon

Send it in - Canon will re-mount the lens, align the optics, and calibrate it. Not for free, but they have all the tools, test equipment, and clean shop needed for that task.

Not all is lost, Canon will fix the loose glass. Dropping lenses is never any fun, I feel your pain

Dante, didn't you get a lens repaired? What was the cost?

Master-9, he told his wife that he sent the 70-200 for repair and the darn Canon service returned him the 300 f/2.8

Seriously, I remember him sending his 85L for repair.

Ohhhh thanx guys, saved my day, theres a canon service in my city, i will bring it there.... thanx again

Once warned, always careful! thanks for sharing your cautionary tale, and commiserations. I hope your lens is home and fixed very soon. It won't be as bad as you think.

Just wanted to tell you guys that its Dead now the authorized canon man, wanted 2500$ to fix it.... the manual and auto focus was broken, so i picked it up.... using it as an ashtray..... no judt kidding... my heart is broken...

That's an incredibly high price for repairs! I'm SO sorry. I'd be heartbroken too...

Yes it is. In the U.S. this lens costs about 2000 USD new. Is it possible to send it to a Canon Service Center to find out if the repair costs would be less than quoted by the Authorized Dealer?

That is a high repair cost, but then again location might influence that some. Was the service center run by Canon, or was it an authorized third party?

I'm going to tell you...if it where my lens I'd send it to Canon before I'd bury it. I mean hell, this is a lens I'd sell my left...well I want really bad but I am too cheap to buy. Send it to Canon anyway....OR SEND IT TO ME! PM ME! PLEASE!!!!
