You could see if a local shop is an "authorized repair" place for that make, or just check with a local camera shop for ideas.

I'm having issues with my Sony 70-400mm lens.  I've always suspected the focus is slightly off, it always seems like only a few shots are truly in sharp focus, especially on low light or dark aircraft.  This is very frustrating, considering i spent a good amount of money on it.  On top of that now the camera keeps getting put into manual focus for no reason, and i have to cycle the camera on and off to get it to reset.  I know it is the lens, because when i switch lens i do not have the same issue. 

Anyways that was a little bit of venting, i know nobody can really diagnose my problem online..but I am looking on Sony.com about repairs, and a certified Sony repair is $450, not including parts.  I consider my lens to be somewhat equivalent to the Canon 100-400mm lens, so anyone who has repaired a lens, does this seem like a lot of money?  I mean I could buy a new one for about $1500-2000, and they want almost a third to just look at it? Would it be cheaper to take it to a local shop?  Also are local camera repair shops worth looking into, or should i stick with a certified Sony repair shop? 

Any advice would help, i'm tired of my camera issues, and it is just getting me frustrated when i shot.  Thanks
