I'm thinking of purchasing a 300 2.8 non-IS and I know Canon doesn't service it anymore. Where's the best place to get a lens serviced that Canon doesn't do anymore?

It's not worth the headache. If you can't afford the 2.8 then get the 300mm f4 get that one until you can afford the 2.8.

for an older 400 2.8 said they did a great job, and prices are reasonable. I have been looking at getting an older 300 2.8 cause prices are so good, but my main concern is not who can fix them, but can these people get parts.
