I think everyone knew (possibly not you) what the poster was saying. Good grief, talk about nitpicking.

Just pointing out one of those dumb auto-correct things. No offense to the OP.

It could have easily been a typo as well. I do it all the time, that's why I proof read all of my posts before hitting the send button.

After being so careful for years, I dropped my Canon 100-400 mm lens, on a concrete slab, no less. After my heart stopped beating rapidly, I picked it up and examined it carefully. There are a couple of dents, but the glass appears to be OK. It was not mounted when I dropped it, so I put it on my 70D body. It balked while turning it into position, but ultimately "clicked" in place. I tried a couple of shots and all appears to be OK. My lesson: when attaching the lens to a tripod (which I was doing), be VERY careful. My question: should I have the lens inspected and repaired, and if so, by whom? What's the risk of just using it like it is, with the tighter fit?

Well, I must confest I amd a very experienced in lens dropping. You have a big piece. I have once dropped Canon 300mm on the floor (with a carpet). Nothing happened. two weeks ago my 7100 + 16-300 Tamron fell from a kitchen table on the floor . Still working perfect (did not take it off).

Sometimes disaster does not happen. Test it test it .

Out of everything I've sent to Canon-from repairs to basic CLA-lenses or bodies-I've never been longer than 9 days, total, from shipping to receiving.

I would definitely get it checked out. If nothing else for your peace of mind If you have a bad picture you will always wonder if it's you or the equipment.

That is a lesson we all need to permanently etch in our memories. Sure am sorry this happened to you.
