does it still manually focus?
once you get it back from Canon, test it, and/or sell it and get a new one if you think it's been banged out of alignment....

not to sound insensitive.. but its a $350 lens..
just buy a new one.if it was a $1800 L series, i would understand your hesitation. but if you dropped it, you should replace it.. and its your girl.. so .. be a man.. do the right thing

- I almost dropped an L Series!hektor911
- i dropped 3 L-series lenses at the same time. I nearly cried. They all seem to continue to work fine.bogue
- 3 l lens at the same time...!!!!! O_O
remind me to never let you hold my camera...
pango - Note to self: do not buy lenses on QBNraf
- yeah, i fell down a manhole while shooting and dropped 7D and L lens. the L is fine, the 7D not so muchautoflavour
- you pay for image quality, but also build qualityautoflavour
- 7D is supposedly really tough,pango
- Dropping three L series lenses could cost you $5 grand.CyBrainX
- 7D is solid for a cheap camera, it's far from being 1Dx quality.zarkonite

http://www.ebay.com/itm/CANON-EF…- yeah, that is the worst idea i have ever heard. unless you have access to a clean room.. your lens will end up worse than it startedautoflavour
- it startedautoflavour
- I wouldn't try it neither...just saying it's an option.uan

maybe you can sell it as is to KEH and get a new one... not a total loss that way....

HijoDMaite - i have to say, i had one of these for a month, and in the end i sent it backautoflavour
- it was on a 7D, so it was pretty long.. plus the DOF was so narrow it was hard to take a quick photo.autoflavour
- the photos that did work were amazing.. but it was a 1 good for 9 bad kind of ratioautoflavour
- Great recommendation/nonre...HAYZ1LLLA
- have this lens would agree with the DOF comment. I shoot in video mode so i can use the LCDbogue
- Glass for ass?Peter

Truth: Probably not worth to fix it. Best chance, sending it to Canon.
Here is a refurb link just in case ... http://shop.usa.canon.com/webapp…

I asked about fixing a lens once. Will cost about £150 probably. Just got a new one.

Hey guys thanks for the recommendations. The thing is that I had already spend a good amount of money on her valentines gift which was pretty much on my budget spending $350 extra just because not a good thing. $350 could get a really nice pair of cycling shoes hahaha, but oh well I guess I'll order a new one and fix this one if possible. By the way I almost dropped and L series..

i guess you need to see this as good karma and the right thing to do, not so much its a valentines gift..
because replacing something you broke, isnt really a gift..
its just the right thing to do..
- the right thing to do is break up hahahektor911
- that would be the other solution.autoflavour

IT IS A SAD DAY TODAY.. I go to pull my camera and lens out of my bag and to my surprise and total confusion, the red ring around my "L" series 24-105mm is gone! Googled it a bit and sure enough it's common for this lens. Broke and fell off. Also googled having Canon fix it and it turns out could cost upwards of $300. FML
- problem solved
http://images.drills…ok_not_ok - I see it this way. If you had a 2014 Ferrari and the emblem fell of the hood. You would care right?HijoDMaite
- that a rubber band? lolohhhhhsnap
- problem solved

Buy the woman a new lens bro.
Sell the damaged one to B&H or something... ffs!- if you're in BK, hop on the train and get thee to 34th st. They'll buy it from you. take the rest of the change and get a new one for her.ohhhhhsnap
- Or go across the street and have it repaired. It might be a lot cheaper.CyBrainX

like autoflavor insinuated; upgrade her, or some other guy will ;)

if you are strapped for cash, you can just get your girl one of these
They look just like the real thing, she will never notice!
and when you go on vacation, just tell her something like this:You know what honey?
It could be really fun if we set up some sort of challenge for the trip.. I don't know hmmm... we could only eat fish and hmmm.. oh I know.. how about if we only use the wide angle lens the entire trip? that would be awesome right babe?DONE DEAL!
