Canon EF 100mm F2.8 MACRO AF lens w/limit/full button missing

1 year 6 months ago #744664 by jesbroken
I bought a macro lens out of Japan, too long ago to return, and found the limit/full button missing. Is this something repairable or am I out of luck? Here's a photo of the lens with the switch missing. Nothing in the switch locale looks wrong just the button missing. It looks to be a brass switch lever with a square hole in it that the switch would connect with. I just wonder if I could put a switch back in and, if so, where would I be able to procure one. Thanks.

A Google search may bring up some how-tos. You're not likely to find a new replacement switch, but might be able to cannibalize a parts lens. Try contacting independent repair technicians for information. Good luck!
