[QUOTE="Anomalous, post: 106843, member: 12600"] I would love some feedback if anyone has any light to shed. The body of my one-year-old Nikkor 24-70 mm f/2.8 somehow became dented while I was traveling :( I always keep my gear in pristine condition and I have no idea how this happened. It's the outside rim surrounding the lens. The lens itself is perfectly fine, photos come out as normal. However, I want to repair it because I currently cannot attach a filter to the lens, and even the cap no longer fastens securely. Is this kind of repair possible? Is it extremely costly? The lens is obviously a big and heavy one, so I want to try and find out what I'm looking at before paying to ship it it Nikon. Should I go through Nikon only? I've heard good things about United Camera as well. Here are photos of the damage: [ATTACH=CONFIG]25030._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]25031._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
