Bummer about the lens. I don't live in the Cities but I think your best bet would be to google local mom and pop camera shops. They would know more than a big box shop and most likely give you a straight answer. Let us know how it turns out. I'm a "dropper in the lake" too and its only a matter of time before one of my lenses take a swim.

maybe national camera exchange would know. they have store in the cities and i think they're a certified canon repair shop.

into Little Sag a few weeks ago.

It was my Canon 300mm lens. I scooped it out as quick as I could but water got inside of it. Now it is all dry but the inside of the lens has water spots. I am sad.

Is this fixable? Who could I bring it to (I am in the Twin Cities) to fix it? Is it even worth the money to fix (since it is not a IS lens)? or should I just shell out for a new 300mm?

Thank you in advance.
