Is broken lens repairable?

$125 represents almost 50% of the price of a brand-new lens, so considering the age of the broken one and how much wear and tear it's had, the temptation is still very much to replace.

Not almost 50% of retail ($397), almost 50% of what some retailers are charging :)

Just out of curiousity, do you know where the small piece of plastic that broke off ended up? You may want to make sure it didn't end up inside your camera.

Indeed. I found it in the bottom of the camera case and have kept it safe (although I don't really know why; it would be utterly impossible to repair by sticking it back on of course, but it just seems 'wrong' to chuck it!)

Just so you guys don't think I've abandoned the thread: The urgent shoot that I thought I needed the lens for I managed with my other lens, so since money is tight at the moment I've decided to wait a while before doing anything. So I'm afraid the broken lens sits at home in its bag awaiting trial!
