    I have a Canon 100-400L that's developed mould on an internal element.
    I've to send it back for repair but I'm wondering if it makes any difference which authorised repair centre in the UK that I send it to? There's four to choose from.

    Is Fixation one of the places offered?
    I would highly recommend them

    It's a MkI. Think it's only worth about €700 or so but it's worthless as it is at the moment!

    Are you a member of CPS? If so then send it to the address that Paul gave and it might/probably will be cheaper

    No idea, you would have to send it to them for a quote.
    Given that it's an older model it might not be cost effective to get repaired.
