Okay, apparently I got a used Canon R5 with RF 100-500mm from a friend of mine. But the R5 shutter count was about 390k, and the RF100-500mm lens there's some dust inside the lens (well it doesnt seems to be affecting the image ྀིquality so far as i shoot) But i got the whole set for about $3750....

1. Is it okay for the body to have 390k shutter count? But i'm mainly shooting on electronic shutter now (seems no affect)
2. Any where there is trustable or reputable on cleaning lens? Or since its not affecting the image quality should i just leave it there for the dust inside my lens?

Sorry, i'm quite a newbie on this, hope to get some helpful answers
 

For your info, Canon R5 mechanical shutter is good for 500,000 cycles or actuations. Since it has already 390k clicks which is 78% of 500k. You still have 110,000 actuations left. Probably it can still function after this number.

As to the dust ,please don't try to save money by going to an unauthorised shop. For peace of mind get it serviced by canon service center.

i’m mostly on electronic shutter now so i guess it doesn’t matter right? That 390k shutter count really quite bothering me all the time haha. Wanted to go Canon official store to clean the lens too but there’s no price list on the website perhaps u know what’s the price range tho?

Sorry, miscalculation of remaining shutter count, it should be 110,000 actuations.

You can email or go there personally and ask for a quote on cleaning. I don't think it is expensive.
