[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 613949, member: 7240"] If that lens is the old AF 70-300G, then the mount is plastic and probably the camera is okay. It is a useless lens anyway, a much much better AF-S 55-200 VR II is heavily discounted in Adorama at only $146 with free shipping. If your lens is the AF-S 70-300G ED VR then it is worth repairing. If you insist on 300mm but want to go cheap, there's a third 70-300 by Nikon, the AF 70-300D ED which is the predecessor to the VR version, discontinued but widely available used. Not as good optically as the 55-200 but obviously longer and about the same price now. [/QUOTE]
