My dad dropped my EF 300 2.8L IS 5 feet onto hardwood floor. The lens mount is bent and doesnt fit my 1D. The focus ring makes noises when turned. I am going to go cry in a corner for awhile. |

be glad you have (had) a 300 f/2.8!  but really, that blows.

I'm sorry to hear this. But just think you can have the lens calibrated when you sent it to Irvine for repair...sorry, that's not much consolation.  |

Nick, I understand your worries but the Irvine repair center has a very good reputation. I wish you the best of luck. |

Be glad it was your dad and not you...ha! Our pool 300 2.8 got broken into 3 pieces and came back $1200 later just fine. Works like new. --------------------------- Nikon & Mac Gear |

I agree with John, the Irvine repair center is very good. I should know, they just calibrated my stuff...explain how it happened, they may cut you some slack. |

I agree, I've used both and I think Irvine is better than NJ. Faster too. --------------------------- Nikon & Mac Gear |

I know you feel bad, I was reading a review of the lens on B&H and the guy said even his out of focus shots were sharp! Now I want oneof those :) I am currently operating in extreme desert conditions (Kalahari and Namib deserts) and cannot believe the robustness of this lens! The capabilities to shoot in very low- light (an hour after sunset) is a big plus. Images are crisp and even my out-of-focus shots are sharp! |
