|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Repair ideas?? Chris Pietsch, Photographer Eugene | OR | USA | Posted: 4:39 PM on 12.11.17 ->> Can anyone out there give me a plan B for a repair facility that might take a look at a Canon 300mm f2.8 IS-USM bought in 2005? The focus is not tracking consistently. Canon repair is saying they no longer have parts and sent it back to us.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

If they don't have it, will be hard to find the part. http://www.midstatecamerarepair.com  This post is:  Informative (2) | Funny (0) | Huh?

They can be a bit abrupt on the phone but they are busy, there's only two of them fixing stuff, taking stuff in at the front door and answering the phone. But if anyone can fix old stuff it's them.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

That is the lens that preceded the 300 F/4 IS. The focus mechanism was not working. They fixed it quickly and the price was reasonable. I was worried that this really old, but lightweight, sharp and useful lens was dead.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
