In my case they had to replace the barrel which I suspect the price to repair it will be more than buying a new one. That said, right now you can both replace your lens and camera with a D3100 or D5100 at a very reasonable price until May 22 when Nikon's promotional discount ends. The D50 is an okay camera but there's been a lot of changes since then and perhaps it would be a good time to pick up one of these new cameras along with a kit lense or two.</p></blockquote><p></p>
