IMPACT DAMAGE FILTER RING BROKEN
I knew that.

BULGE ON INNER ZOOM
I didn't know that - probably why zoom action was stiff around 50mm

FOCUS ADJUST ALIGNMENT-NOT SHARP*FOCUS OFF@70M
I knew that too - that's why I sent it in.

Repair cost $692
Tax $29
Shipping $12
Total $733 :doh:

A new one costs $1900. I guess I could look at it as getting a used lens for $733.
Ouch!!! But still cheaper then a full replacement would cost!! Give it a good going over and testing when it returns and see if it puts a smile back on you face!!

I hope it does???

:thumbsup:
