<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4859814, member: 19463"]My week was a little like TC's. My highest end $1100 in 2006 camera lens stopped working. I went on You Tube and found a video describing the exact problem. I called my local camera store and found that the local camera repair man had died so all they did now was send repairs to Canon. Before Covid, they said repairs came back in over 2 months and this sort of thing was about $325 BUT that since Covid, they had not been getting repairs back at all so there would be no expectation by Christmas. I decided that $325 to get a 2006 quality lens repaired was less desirable than the $475 to get a 2020 one (lower grade than the top but better than the top in 2006) so I am expecting the lens Monday. I'll have to try it out on a coin but it really is not what I generally use for that. My 2008 'coin' lens still works.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
