[QUOTE="milesleginois, post: 406289, member: 36678"] Hello, everyone: This is my first post in the forum, and I'm reaching out to gain experience and ask a technical question. I have a D5100 with the stock Nikon 18-55mm DX lens, and back in 2012 it vibrated off a table on a ferry while overseas and landed right on the lens. Thankfully my lens hood absorbed the impact, shattering, but the lens was intact. I couldn't take a picture right afterwords, and found the mirror was pushed down past the little stops inside. I panicked a bit, but then very carefully pulled it back out, snapping forcefully back into place. I checked for scratches or wiggle, but it seemed solid. However, the remainder of the trip I suffered from blurry images on the right 1/3 of my photos. When I got home, the lens went in for repair, as I tested older lenses on the camera, and they showed no blurring. Determining it was the lens, that got fixed by Nikon and sent back. All was fine up until this past vacation after Christmas. Some of the photos seem to show the blurring on the right side again, but not all. I've tested this lens to my 28-80mm old pre-DSLR lens, and they both seem sharp, so this issue seems to change in severity. I'm still trying to determine if it is at all magnifications. In the meantime, here is a photo from the night of 12/27 in Basel, Switzerland.
