I noticed yesterday that the lens mount on my Canon 300mm f/2.8L IS II is showing some wear. Specifically, the chrome coating has worn down to the brass underlay.
I also noticed some tiny brass filings around the pin hole where the camera body locks into the lens. I’ve since cleaned the filings out with a dampened Q-tip.
My questions to everyone are:
1) Would this issue of “brassing” warrant sending the lens in for repair? And, if so...
2) Does anyone have an estimate of cost for a lens mount replacement?
Thanks.
