The authorised repair service here in Italy has been extremely quick so far: I sent the broken lens yesterday by courier, and I just got the quote. It's roughly 400€ cheaper than the most optimistic estimate for buying a new lens. The only question I'd like to put here is: is it safe to assume that, if an authorised repair service says that the thing can be fixed, I'll get a lens whose quality has been completely restored... right? :-) I've only broken and repaired a lens before (it was Nikon (*)) and at the time I didn't even ask myself the question... but at the time I wasn't reasonably competent in terms of IQ as I'm now, so it was not a concern, or a thing that I could evaluate. Now I can, and I think I should.
