[QUOTE="imnunky, post: 5419, member: 19"] At a local lake a few weeks ago, fishing picnic type of day used my D90 and 80-400, brilliantly outreached my shoulder mount video camera, Whilst packing my stuff to my vehicle, camera and lens nicely on my shoulder when wham some one bumped into me and yes down they went, (that is one mother of a heavy lens) needless to say my heart went down with them, Oh yes I can tell what is going on in your heads, You shudda this, you shudda that, But at that time I was confident that I was OK with the way I was packing, Well to cut this long story short Estimated cost to fix Lens via Nikon Canada, Is $1,250, only explanation I got was "Oh it's a USA model", so now what do I keep the very expensive paper weight, or fix it, Fixing it will cost me the loss of getting a Nikon 70-200 VR and a Nikon D300s, Plus I am in the duldrums, (Depressed) and thinking of giving up completely, Whoa now, hold on a minute, Yes I have decided to fix it, even though it is very slow focusing it has reach, or will have when I get it back, well now is there a moral to this, I'll let whom ever wants too go from here, I have my own IMHO, Ernie [/QUOTE]
