There are other things that could have gotten broken or weakened inside. I once bought a 17-55 2.8 for repairs (zoom was stuck, jammed), brought it in the Montreal Nikon service center for an estimate. They called me back saying it would cost more than the lens. Then I asked for a more detailed estimate of parts and labor. The lens was sent to Nikon in Toronto. The real estimate was for 360 $. Much less than the lens value so I had it done and am glad I insisted with them. Otherwise, it would have made me an expensive paper weight.</p></blockquote><p></p>
