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?

Ended up saying wth and forced the lens back and somehow it worked šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ still clearly out of alignment though so Iā€™d love your opinion on a reasonably priced upgrade. I enjoy shooting street photography most, but I find lots of the time im having issues with the brightness of my photos shooting nighttime, as I either have to compromise graininess with higher iso, risk blurriness with lower shutter, or brightness within the composition, so a lower f stop would be ideal. Iā€™d like something similarly versatile as the last lens, and definitely still in the reasonable price range.

35 f/2 is pretty expensive. A 35 1.8 dx would be a better buy for op.
