Hello all

I have had my Canon 7D and 100mm macro lens for a few years now and would like to get them both serviced professionally. However, I have never done this before - where do I start?

I assume a Canon shop or retailer would be a good place but are there other options?

Thanks in advance,

Lee

Hi Lee,

The main service centre for Canon cameras is near Borehamwood, details here:
https://www.canon.co.uk/support/rcc/

I have used them a few times in the past, and found them very competent but not cheap. It is actually on the site of what used to be the Aldenham Bus garages where I spent many happy hours bus spotting in my distant childhood.

It is still a relatively short journey for me, but I guess you would need courier/postal services.

Others on UKB with more photographic expertise may be able to suggest other options. Maybe the Canon centre can recommend options more local to you.

The main centre Roger links to has official partners around the country, I think. I had the LCD screen on my Canon camera replaced very competently and for a civilised price in Colchester last year. Sadly, that shop closed this year, but the website (https://camera-repair.co.uk/) refers back to the Canon UK site.

Thank you both, Roger and Guy.

Best wishes,

Lee

Hi
These guys did an excellent job cleaning and servicing my bodies (2x7D MkIIs) and lenses (7 in total) - and, this is the crucial bit, - calibrating the autofocus for each lens with each body.
Best money I have ever spent on camera gear.
If you are searching for sharpness - auto-focus calibration must be the first step.
