She's had it a little over a year, it was a refurb, as they were no longer selling new ones. I haven't checked other independent repair facilities. I understand that lens repair can be iffy without the correct equipment, depending on what they have to do.

Well, the Nikon 105mm macro lens I got for my daughter died today. It no longer focuses, either in AF or manual focus mode. When you turn the focus ring, the lens does not focus at all. I called Nikon, they said if I list the problem as "focus/zoom not smooth", the estimate will be be $475. He...

Managed to get a picture of a nice buck in my backyard. Not sure how he got over the fence.

Welcome. Be careful, this hobby can take a big chunk out of your federal retirement, if you let it. But, it's a fun ride. I retired almost 2 years ago after 38 yrs with the USPS. I've been re-bitten by the photobug, but haven't had the electricity cut off yet. There are a lot of good Youtube...

It's OK Fred, that's a GFI circuit! ;)
