[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 816777, member: 10543"] That's a fine shot and it's great that you've been able to coax the Tamron back to life. Sometime in the early 1980s I dropped my Dad's Nikon EL-2 that he'd loaned me. I wrapped the camera in my down jacket to keep it cushioned in my car's trunk. At the next stop, I forgot about the camera, grabbed my jacket and the camera fell to the ground. 😑 I sent it to Nikon's repair shop on nearby Long Island and they fixed it at surprisingly fair cost. Thinking of your D5100, my D5100 remains my first and only DSLR, bought 12+ years ago. It still gets a lot of use. I think about upgrading every now and then. [/QUOTE]
