My 400mm 2.8 IS decided it would not rotate (tripod mount) more than 45 or so degrees instead of 360 degrees. Is there a button I'm missing?

unless it's under warranty is a big repair - I think about $300us, but don't quote me on that.

What a screw up of a design, and poor that Canon wants to charge so much for what could be such a simple fix.

It is under warranty. Hate to ship it off, yuk. It moves about 45 degrees (should be 360)
