80-200L?

I think u can only go 3rd party shops - TCW.

Because IIRC, Canon will not service any lens that's older than 10 yrs old.

any idea on the costs? the lense i have is missing an "L"

thanks

hmm not too sure... need to bring down and ask...

clean fungus or dust?

if it's the latter, then clean it unless it doesn't affect image quality.

[josh]

fungus dah..

[buaya]

walao.. die liao..

depends on the severity loh... some fungus deep rooted in the glass liao...

if that's e case, it's time to use the lens as door stopper or paper weight

uncle don...always go back to the service centre....anything more than 10yrs dun bother cleaning....cos certain parts they wont have spares anymore....its dangerous to open up....sometimes service centre will reject the job....
