Hello all,
I have an Err 01-Communication error that I have isolated to my Canon 15-85mm lens by attaching the lens to a different body. I have contacted Canon for the repair but I am curious if this group might recommend another repair site that might be preferred for cost and repair quality. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance!
Daryl
Canon's repair is excellent.
For a lens that can be purchased used for $400, I'd establish a price threshold on what to spend on a repair before simply looking for a replacement. You may find a 3rd party shop has a $200+ minimum, regardless of the actual problem.
Have you cleaned the contact points?

Where are you located? If you're in the SW, there are several really good fix-it shops in the Phoenix area. One of our members up in Montana does repairs, I believe. He might be a good contact.
Thank you Chg Canon, I also thought about purchasing a used replacement. I guess I have to find out what the repair cost is. Piece of mind is worth a couple hundred bucks.
Have a good one!

Thank you JR, I have tried multiple methods short of an eraser with no improvement.
Have a good one!

Thank you AzPicLady, I live in Minnesota. I have not tried too hard to find a local repair shop. It is worth a shot for sure.
Have a great day!

If you live near the Twin Cities Northwest Camera Repair in Lindstrom Mn is very good.
Look up Camera Clinic next door to you in North Dakota. Have had a few “problem” cameras sent in. Excellent work for a reasonable price.
