  Hi

  I’m currently looking to buy a general walk-around lens as the ones I have are not suitable. I have come across a 17-85 which may be suitable but some I have seen are faulty and display error: err01. I understand it to be a common error with them, which is to do with a flexible cable inside the lens. Just wondering does anyone know how much it would cost to get repaired if I was to get one or is it hard to do myself? Ideally I’d like 135 or 200 at the long end but I’d consider this, just looking for opinions for now. Its for a Canon 500D, thanks for any help.

  Regards,
  Patrick.
