p.2 #1 · Nikon 500mm f4 VRII got broken

the $600 estimate sounds about right. I spent around the same for Nikon to repair my dropped 400/2.8 VR. The dent was still in the front when it came back, even though the lens worked perfectly. I called them 3 times to make sure then repaired ALL cosmetic damage, but somehow the message never got thru...

I don't buy insurances and for many years, my stuffs aren.'t stolen. weird coincidence?

What if your "stuffs" do get stolen; will that be a weird coincidence?

Are you serious?

Yes, "all the time" I get my stuff stolen. It wasn't because there was a rash of break-ins in my community from people searching for guns. Nope. It's because I'm insured and either schemed it or lied to my insurance company about it.

I do hope that you gave APS a call for a rough estimate before you sent it anywhere to be fixed.

Bummer on the drop, that's how I became a customer of APS, dropping a lens that wasn't mine (ouch)

Dear all,
Help~!!!!!!!!!
My Nikon 500mm f4 VRII fell from a tripod. 1) Got dent on the front ring, but not so much. 2) Autofocus does not work well. Motor makes noise but not work. Others are just good. I am wondering any suggestions to repair it? How much I will pay for it? It's a US lens. I live in Pittsburgh. Thanks.

I am serious and you completely missed the point.

It happens more often than I want to hear about insurance claims. Just in the last few years, 2 of my neigbors got their houses burnt down, while they were on a cruise. Just that after they couldn't sell after a year or so on the market.
The lesson: if you some how can "insure" yourself, do it. The regular comercial insurances are artificially expensive because of the abuses, such as in these examples.
