Lens Replacement

[ArnabMaity]

My Canon EF-S 18-55mm kit lens has some autofocus issues and it's out of warranty. Can I replace it with a new one adding the necessary amount of money to it?

"I have been finding the refurbished lens section to be chronically out of stock ..."

I doubt it is a goal of Canon to keep the refurbs in stock.

Indeed, "persistently out of stock" means that no one is returning them!
