[QUOTE="MaxBlake, post: 567565, member: 41550"] Awhile back, I picked up a Nikon 18-140mm lens while buying a D7200 body. The camera is terrific, and the lens is proving its usefulness and versatility on various travel junkets. I dropped the telephoto recently while switching out lenses in the Grand Canyon; it didn't fall far, and it was protected by a pair of rubber sleeves that absorbed much of the shock. It seemed to be OK, and I switched it out a few minutes later and checked the photos that it registered; all were fine. But I noticed upon returning from the trip that there's a small crack on the casing that can been seen without magnification and that you can feel with a fingertip. The crack concerns me ... as a potential prelude to lens failure down the road, perhaps. I did buy the lens/camera from one of the big online sellers, and I also purchased the extended replacement warranty. My question is this: Would you ask that the lens in its current state be replaced? Or would you simply continue to use it until (of if) it fails? Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
