Hi guys,

I'm new here and to London (from Aus) and recently I dropped my camera and destroyed my filter, the front of the lens was all good except tiny scratches to the front element from the shards of glass.

I took it to a repair place in London and they wanted to charge me 50% of a new lens to get it fixed (also some stiffness in the zooming, but it has had that for a long time)... I thought this was rather astronomical and wondering if anyone can recommend me somewhere?

Lens in question is a Canon 24-70 mkII. Reason I'm asking here, is I was part of a big photography community on the OCAU forums that were really helpful, look forward to being part of this one as well :)

Cheers,
Daniel
 
I just had a look at CPS membership and unfortunately I don't qualify :( only 1 body and 2 qualifying lenses....

I actually thought the UV filter saved the front element from going completely... and your right it doesn't seem to make any difference to the photos, I was going to claim travel insurance for the repair as it happened while travelling.... not sure.
