I just picked up the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM ($2100) and the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM ($2280) lenses. They come with a 1 year warranty from Canon. For $270 each I can get 4 year extended warranties for them. The extended warranties give you straight exchange in the first 90 days if anything goes wrong. They also have a lemon policy so if the lens has to be repaired twice, on the third time you get a straight replacement. If the problem is due to something not covered by the warranty, like physical damage, they give you 20% off the cost of repair. The warranty is transferable, so if I sold the lenses the new owner would be covered.
So is it worth getting the extended warranty for $270 per lens?
