Looking for a place to clean some lenses from dust and also removing fungus on one of my lens which is the canon 70-200 doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

also what is the price for lens cleaning and fungus removal? saw one stating canon service center helps remove fungus on lens for rm120, which is much lower than i was estimating. but asking if there are some other that can give lower pricing

thanks

Canon has their own service center at HQ building in Shah Alam opposite KTM Subang if you're within the area. Otherwise will need to send for service at 3rd party shops.

As for charges, you will need to bring in your gear to their centre and technicians will check and an SMS will be sent to you along with the quotation. If you are agreeable, then only we will proceed to repair/service.

Then why not go teros to Canon's official service center at Subang? Can naik LRT and go there. Got one pedestrian bridge over federal highway can walk across from LRT to the main HQ building.

Basic fee?

I want to sell of my camera, but there's a fungus so I need to remove it first.

How much did they charge you?

Official Canon will take 10 days and a minimum of RM120 for the service, so did you do it at 3rd party or official?

yep. i'm a bad person sad.gif

anyway, rm200 if they don't need to replace anything. if they do, then that'll cost extra
