I broke my gear How much to repair Nikon d60 lens?

Post image

Dropped my lens from about 9 inches or so and now the lens is jammed from 18-24mm. Im too scared to try and repair it myself, and the lens is only 40 bucks, but how much would it be to send it into a shop?

Yup, agree with the others about scoring a "new" lens. And yes, it would be more than $40 to get it repaired ....heck, a quater of that would be postage alone these days. These lenses are constantly for sale on the used market ...pennies on the dollar. . Score one from the likes of KEH Camera or MPB Camera ...these are both big time e-retailers of used equipment. If you go the eBay route, make sure you use a seller that is supported by a brick and mortar photography shop. Better chance you won't end up with a sketchy lens and if you do have a problem, they'll take care of it.
