Damn! Wish I´d held off buying my 24-70.
ACS have now had my lens for 6 weeks. I´m pretty pissed off at the time it is taking and now they´re saying the repair bill is going to be 558.00 and not the 376.00 they originally quoted. *chokes* Apparently Nikon have hiked up their repair prices. Not happy.
I would be getting it back from them with a note saying "beyond economic repair" and then claiming a new lens on the insurance ...or at least a good chunk of its used market value.
You can buy a used 24-70 for £700 on eBay. So a £558 repair on a £700 worth lens is (imho) uneconomic.
