I have canon 85mm f1.8 lens but the front glass got a lot of tiny scratches and it's affecting the sharpness. Can it be repaired or replaced? How much does it cost?

    Send the lens to Canon for a repair estimate. My guess is the cost to replace the front element will probably be about 300USD.

    What makes you think tiny scratches on the front element, rather than something else, are what is "affecting the sharpness"? It takes a LOT of front element damage before it's noticeable in photos. See also How can I remove scratches from a lens? and How do I diagnose the source of blurry photos?

    @MikeSowsun Which is about the same price that good used EF 85mm f/1.8 can be bought in a lot of places.
