|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Need Help With Canon 300 2.8L Chuck Wellman, Photographer Freeport | IL | USA | Posted: 10:42 PM on 10.29.08 ->> I have a USM version of the Canon 300 2.8L lens that is missing the clear plastic cover over the Depth Of Field or Distance Scale on top of the barrel. Canon says the part is obsolete now. Any ideas on where I can find a replacement part? Thanks for any help. Trying to keep from having to ship it to CPS to get this little part serviced. Thanks.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

TF Camera Repair in East Brunswick, NJ is another option to Midstate and Midwest.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
