If it's the 18-55 ($100 factory refurbs available), or some other equally cheap lens(55-200, 18-105, 55-300, or even one of the 35mm or 50mm primes), it's probably not worth it to get it fixed.I went through this with the 18-105. The plastic mount broke off of it and Nikon wanted over $100 to fix it (half the price of a factory refurb of the same lens). I ended up just buying the 50mm f1.8G and couldn't be happier. I kept the broken 18-105 and eventually found a cheap part from a camera parts shop that I bought for $10 and fixed the 18-105 at home. Now I have an excellent prime lens and the working kit lens for only about $100 more than Nikon wanted to just fix the original lens. I could have even came close to breaking even if I had bought a 50mm f1.8D instead of the f1.8G.</blockquote>
