The pin inside the Shift Knob of my Canon Tilt Shift lens got lost...Is there a way I can find a store online which sells replacement parts for Canon cameras?
I have the knob I just need the pin to put it back...
I have looked at ebay, etc and so far I couldn't find any stores which sells small replacement parts for camera lenses.

Thanks for the help!

    While I believe that Canon still sells replacement and repair parts directly to consumers, you need to find out the part number for the part. (They will not look up the number for you because too often people don't really know what they need and cannot accurately describe it.)

    It's best to see if you can locate the schematic for the lens, which will show an exploded view of the internals, and corresponding part numbers.

    If you cannot find an online schematic, I believe that you "can" order the schematic from an authorized Canon service center, from which to locate your part and part number. In that case, be sure that you know the exact make, model and version information for your lens, along with the serial number, before you order the schematic.

    I found Canon service to be quite helpful in ordering parts, Ziggy.

    I have ordered the little rubber flaps that cover the PC ports and other ports for a 1DsMKii, and the red lens on an ST-E2 and did not need the schematic or the precise Canon part number.

    Maybe I was just lucky?!
