35L "focus stuck" after drop?

[xopher]

I recently tripped and my 35L gently touched the pavement while in my camera bag. At first, I didn't notice any problems, however, i tried using it at my friend's birthday party and I noticed the something was wrong.
From what I can tell, the lens now suffers from the very common 50 1.4 focus stuck problem.
Have any of you experienced a similar problem? Any idea how much i should expect to pay for the repair? :/
I'd love to get this fixed myself because I'm heading off to vegas on monday and its the only walk around lens i have... canon depot quoted me 10-15 days

Have you tried checking the auto focus switch? Flip it back and forth to make sure it's not stuck in between?

yes ive tried that. If you look at the distance indicator, it doesn't reach infinity anymore :/ Its now stuck between a certain range

Probably some of the internal plastic parts cracked and broken, plus the lens elements are sure to be decentered. Send it in for repair and rent a replacement if need be. This is not a home screwdriver repair job.
