I purchased a Canon 7D a few years ago and only recently started to really use it, so it is long out of warranty. The lens, a Canon 24-105 Ultrasonic, has stopped working properly. It whirs and struggles, then displays a warning, saying that the lens and the camera cannot communicate. Cleaning the contacts, as advised, does not help. From what I have read on the Net, this a common problem with this lens and is generally the ribbon cable.
When I enquired about repairs, the minimum would be $200, which means it could go a lot higher. Is it worth it, at $300? $500? Can anyone give me a guess as to how many years I would get out of a repaired lens?
