Basically the autofocus is no more, been completely knocked out by the impact. Has anyone had anything similar before, or does anyone have an idea as to what I might be looking at cost wise?
 
Not sure about Nikon but my Canon 50mm 1.4 af packed up last year and it cost me about £140 to get the af motor replaced, which i thought wast too bad

Cheers, I'd be more than happy with that, did you go to Canon or a third party?
 
£140 not too bad? You must have too much money :)

... my excess is £200, so anything under that is a bonus!

Don't hold your breath if it's a Nikon. They seem to be *much* more expensive to repair than Canons. (I have a lot if experience here!) Whilst it obviously depends on what exactly had gone wrong, we find that Canon lens repair bills are usually £100-£150 and occasionally up to £200; but Nikon repairs can cost any amount up to £200, £400 or even more.

Cheers, Stewart. I'll call Aaduki in the morning and see what the deal is, I' rather not have to claim but if I need to then so be it.
