Canon quoted me approx $165 plus parts to fix my 300/4L hood, it doesn't lock in place. At that price, it can wait :lol:

Considering it cost me little more than that to get my non-focusing 24-70L back to fully functional... I'm happy with my repair cost :cool:

Considering it's nothing more than a piece of plastic, it shouldn't cost that much to replace outright. Damn burglars.

Unless the reason it doesn't lock is because something's broken or out of place on the end of the lens. :p

Just throwing it out there..............

:lol: If the problem was more significant, then $165 would be alright, but it's too much for the problem.

I think a few screws are missing :lol: I can shake it around and tilt it to show a small hole, obviously where a screw was. It is a fair bit of money, so I'm not sure what I'll do yet.
