Re: Buying a damaged lens...Yes/No???
OK so a little update since posting this...
I was actually able to get the inital price down to $1650 not $1800 so I\'m off to a better start.
He does have a documented estimate total from Nikon that puts the cost at no more than $3404.62 to fully repair the lens. And yes Nikon has opened it up and looked inside.
Even if I wasn\'t to get it fixed I know that having a hell of a MF long lens for my video work at this price was going to be a great deal. The glass on it from what I have seen is flawless but like I say when I get back from my vacation I will inspect it further.
I know that this cost is far higher than the other two lenses I have taken the risk and purchase price on before, but the more that I look at it for the initial cost I just am feeling it\'s a decent deal.
