The blades in my 300 f4 IS are stuck wide open.I got a quote from Canon Canada of $220 + tax + return shipping for the repair.Does this amount sound about right?

msowsun "approx 8mm" More info | Jan 15, 2011 17:11 | #4 I should add that I have no experience with that kind of repair, but considering they charge about $100 minimum just to look at a lens, $200 seems reasonable to me.

I would seem to me that price for what they need to do. bcd01 - devices of enjoyment list
