Joe Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 My Canon 70 - 200 F4 lens fell out of my unzipped bag and bounced off the road a couple of days ago. I`m in the Canary Islands so will have to send it away. Anyone used Fixation in the UK for Canon lens repair? Thanks Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Limb Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Joe Can not not speak about Cannon. But as a Nikon user they are first rate, highly recommended been using then for the past two decades. Give them a call first and chat over the problem.

Joe Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 Thanks, Matt. I`ll contact them. Just had a look at their website, 3-4 day turnaround for Canon repairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSnapper Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Remember Xmas is rapidly approaching......get that lens in quick or there may be delays . I use them a lot for my Nikon repairs. Highly recommended km after looking at the prices of new copies of that lens , and decent second hand ones, you're probably better off just junking it and buying another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDM Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I've used them as well for Nikon repair. I've also used them for sensor cleaning - excellent service. I had to wait a few weeks for repair as the parts were not available in the UK at the time but I received the camera back as good as new for slightly less than the quoted price and a week earlier than they originally estimated. They prioritise professional clients judged by the equipment itself if you don't tell them that you are professional. As RedSnapper says, you may be better to replace rather than repair, depending on what is wrong with the lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 Thanks, Keith and Michael. After giving it some thought, and looking at the lens again (zoom clunky and grindy after being locked solid after accident... ), may opt for new lens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windmillskies Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Hi Joe Another tick for FIxation from a NIkon user perspective. I emailed them after dropping a lenses and breaking the mount- as I was going to be in London for a day they did a "while you wait" service which was great.Regards Martin www.windmillskies.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpics Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 They do repairs. I walked in with a loose speedlite connection and they fixed it there and then without charging me any money. Best might be to give them a phone call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armstrong Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Another vote for Fixation. Have just been looking on their website. As of October 2015 they've been acquired by Wex (who also have an excellent reputation): http://www.fixationuk.com/Fixation/About%20Fixation_files/PRESS%20RELEASE%20-%20Wex%20Photographic%20Acquires%20Fixation%202-Oct-2015.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
