Lens Repairs

[vince31]

Can anyone suggest a place where I can get my lens repaired?

The plastic around the front glass is cracked (This needs replacing) and it could do with a good clean at the same time I think.

Regards

Vince

Fixation have a good reputation

failing that try Nikon UK directly. Which ever way you do it, use the repairer directly, if you use a shop, they might well add a mark up to the repairer's cost.

I'm not sure it will worth the trouble with this lens as it's fairly cheap to get one used

Lehmans near Stoke?

£130 buys a new VR one from Amazon. Used obviously less.

By the time you've added postal/courier charges to any sort of repair I would be surprised if you get much change out of £100.

Sounds like the perfect excuse to upgrade to me

That. It isn't really worth servicing £300-400 lenses, not to say about £100. Maybe if you are in China or India, it could be cheaper somewhere, definitely not in UK.

And once you buy a new lens, put the broken lens on eBay, you'll be surprised what it goes for as "spares or repairs".

That one sounds as works fine, well used, some minor cosmetic damage and dust of specs - given some descriptions on ebay

True, some things sell for silly prices, even with negative descriptions.

I've seen empty camera boxes go for £60+ and recently a broken lens went for a few thousand, amazing what people will buy on ebay. Definitely a chance to upgrade to a new lens Vince, and a chance to get rid of the old one.
