Sad to hear. I have that Nikon lens along with 6 others and I must be blessed. I have been buying and using Nikon products for 50 years and have never had to return anything for repair. Hoping I don't jinx myself with this post.


No, it's not a case of being blessed, at least not by the Nikon gods. I also own several Nikkor lenses, including the 200-500, and I've never had any need a repair. The good ones are well made and if handled properly, will last a very long time. I also own numerous Canon EF lenses and the two I've had in the repair shop are fairly old and probably the two Canon lenses I've used the most.

You can report all you want. I simply posted 5 letters. If you assigned a rude meaning to those 5 letters, then that's your doing, not mine. By themselves, the letters are meaningless. Again, I never said I repaired the lens, and I did say it was repaired in a shop. I even named the repair shop if you want to contact them. Also, please stop trolling me or I will report you, and maybe you will be the first member that I block.


You posted 5 letters FOR WHAT REASON? Why those 5 lettrrs.we all know what you meant.
Look other people posted Nikon lenses needed fixing.
Please call other people names not me. Leave me out if your childlike gsmes

Our technician tradesmen earned $84.00 per hour when I retired in 2017. We charged $140.00 per hour to cover our business expenses and net 5%. We invested in training and the special tools and instruments needed to service our clients.

A zoom camera lens is a technical, as well as precision, piece of equipment, and taking it apart for repair, cleaning, lubrication, re-assembly, and re-calibration must be performed in the cleanest of spaces and it would not be for the faint-of-heart.

Imagine what a fellow that owns a Ferrari thinks when he takes it in for its scheduled maintenance. Of course, he could go to the local Jiffy-Lube where they pay the employees $12.00 per hour and charge $80.00 to change five quarts of oil and a filter and try to up sale you other services.

And so I am very doubtful of repair shop that say they CLA cameras for $100.

I will never understand why people having a common interest cannot share thoughts and opinions without insulting each other. More and more I go back to viewing the photos and skipping over the comments. This is the only social media site I ever go to and it often reinforces why I've never done any others.

I agree but when others start calling names and insults its tough to hold back. Same people all the time.
Why do the same people find it necessary to correct minor spelling errors? This isn't a college thesis, but an online blog. I don't proof read all the time and my autocorrect at times corrects to wrong word.
The poster on this thread that caused the last flame storm thought it was necessary to correct my spelling of lenses, EXCUSE me I forgot a *s". Is this really what the UHH all about?
Then the rascal calls me terrible names but using well know initials and says he just wrote random letters. Please go back to photography.

I guess if we can just totally ignore their comments, eventually they will go away.

Will they give you a warranty as a result of the repair? If so; how long? If it is a renewed or "remanufactured" lens with a good warranty, it might be a good investment.

Yes but their old 5 year warranties no longer exist. Most all of their cameras and lenses come with a oneyear warranty. If you purchase with AMEX warrantee durations are frequently doubled.
