I had one faulty camera plus three faulty lenses:
5D LCD screen was showing false repeatedly plus dust in mirror chamber.
24-105 f4L had severe flare issues that didn't exist before with white halos around highlights.
EFS17-55f2.8 IS my preferred lens had recently became totally non usable : severe decentering, with front focus.
Canon 50mm f1.4 there's a spot in the focus at one meter where the focus motor locks
All three lenses plus camera repaired to mint condition:
5D LCD had loose mounting that was fixed.
24-105: cleaning
EFS 17-55 had a discplaced element that was put back in place and fixed
Canon 50mmf1.4 had a small problem with a piece in the focus motor, luckily for me the repairs guy had the dysfunctional part from another lens autofocus motor that had failed and did the replacement.
I was expecting a huge bill and lengthy repairs however I was surprised when the guy called me to tell me I can drop by and pick my camera and lenses, total bill: 40 US$ equivalent.
Sometimes you have great surprises.
