If you read Tim Peak's book he included a picture of the gear on the ISS (see link below). Every lens has its own camera attached (I don't think cleaning is easy in zero gravity). Their lineup is impressive, more impressive is their 400 f2.8 and 600 f4 are literally weightless unlike on earth. How much would long lens users give to have that benefit!

It's probably more cost effective only changing the cameras if the lenses are already up there and still good. It's likely to cost many more times in fuel than the camera/lenses are worth to get them up there.
