canonloader Cream of the Crop  More info | Oct 16, 2006 11:26 | #1 I have just sent my 100-400L off to Canon for alignment. Bought it used and the IQ is total junk as compared to images posted here from other copies. I was wondering if anyone else has had this done and how much it costs. They couldn't give me an estimate over the phone. Mitch- ____...^.^...____

Think about it, the most common reason for selling a lens is cause your not happy with it. Nuff said. Cant see it costing that mutch for calibration.

Oct 16, 2006 12:04 | #3 Well, I'm curious anyway. I saw in another thread, someone paid $125 to have a Sigma calibrated. Just wondered what Canon might charge. Mitch- ____...^.^...____

Oct 16, 2006 13:02 | #5 I will post the cost here. Mine is on the way, UPS, and should be there some time this week. Then they said they will email me the estimate, and I guess, a final OK from me on the repairs. Mitch- ____...^.^...____

lummy Member 108 posts Joined May 2006 Location: NorCal More info | I have heard ( I think here) that the cost to repair a 100-400l is a set $299 plus parts. I don't think calibration is the same tho so I'm hoping it will be less than that. Where'd you send it to, Irvine?

Oct 16, 2006 14:36 | #8 No, I sent it to New Jersey. $300 for calibration is a bit steep though. Mitch- ____...^.^...____
