UPDATE
The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being. I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure. ------------------------------------------------------------

I dropped off my 70-200 2.8 mark 1 for servicing at Canon NJ and have been told there is fungus in the IS component which will need to be replaced at a cost of $465 ( with cps discount )
They say it's minimally affecting the elements but could get worse ( as fungus tends to do )
has anyone ever heard of this happening?
would you say it's worth repairing or should i use the money to buy a new one?
anythng else i'm not asking that i should be?
btw..i shoot professionally. Up until now..i have found this to be one of my sharpest lens, keeping me from wanting to upgrade to a mark II
Thanks...Arnie
