Only one problem with Canon repair and it involves the age of the lens.
A while back I sent a Canon 28-70 2.8 L lens to NJ for a clean, check and calibration, and they sent it back to me saying they no longer offered support for this lens.
Keep in mind this is an L series lens that I paid over $1,200 for some years back.
Yes this is a sad fact that if Canon no longer keeps a product in its line, they guit servicing them... Pretty sad when you pay that kind of L$L$L$L$ for a lens and they won't work on it.
I recently had a problem (Dropped it) on my 28-70L. The Manual/Auto focus switch broke off. My local Camera shop here in Portland was able to fix it. They can actually do a lot of things as long as they can get the necessary parts. (Which Canon quits making when they drop a product). They also did some repairs to my 80-200L. I am very happy with there service, pricing, and turnaround.
