What to do about it? Stop shooting drunk, perhaps? I'm Epileptic, and I have never dropped a camera, or lens. What will Nikon-or whomever-charge to fix it? Ask them. If I were you, I would not fix it until I fixed what caused it. Were you drunk? In a hurry? Just clumsy? Were you in a crowd, and jostled by someone else? Were you changing lenses while watching a video, or day-dreaming? Did you get get too excited during your first glamour shoot? Did you have one too many energy drinks before shooting? Figure out what caused you to drop the lens, and do your best to avoid doing that again. THEN fix the lens.

There is no reason to assume this at all. After shooting at a beach, it was obvious a massive fire had started somewhere nearby. We all decided to get out while we could. I was walking toward the car when the fire appeared coming over a hill. I dumbly turned to photograph it while walking and tripped on a step I didn't see. The camera and lens hit the ground, although I took both into Canon and while you could see scratch marks nothing serious was affected. Just the other day I was looking for something in my bag and a lens that wasn't well secured dropped out, but only fell a short distance. I haven't even checked that one out yet, as it is an old fisheye I don't use much (which is probably why it wasn't as secure in the bag as it should be. Stuff happens.
