p.2 #1 · p.2 #1 · ** Update** Canon No Longer Servicing 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM? | |
I bought my 70-200/2.8 IS somewhere around 2004. About a year later, Canon issued a product advisory for the lens related to faulty IS units. I sent mine in, and they replaced the IS unit at no charge to me.
It might be worth doing some research and finding out what production dates were included in that advisory. Even though it has been a long time and even if Canon is not willing to do the repairs at no cost, you might be able to talk with a supervisor at the repair facility and be offered some form of a significantly reduced cost good-will repair.
Note that one of the symptoms of the problem (with the camera bodies at that time) was the 00 aperture reading similar to what you described, except that, when the 00 aperture reading showed up, the cameras would not take any pictures until they were turned off and turned back on.
