Where to get parts for a Nikon D5000 SLR, with DX VR: AF-S

I had forgotten all about it but just pulled it out of the camera box. Had I a glass filter, it would likely have saved the lens. I don't agree with that without seeing the lens. If the lens fell in such a way that the edge or side of the lens took the impact, the torsion would break the lens. A filter would have been no help. Hi Tony, I don't really know if a filter would have helped. Here is a picture of the crack. http://www3.picturepush.com/photo/a/...40/8663221.jpg It's hard to see but it's a u-shaped crack in the relatively flat glass on front of the lens. The marking on the lens say: Nikon AF Nikkor 70-300mm 1:4-5.6 G Looking closely, there are also little tiny dots of what appears to be the broken bits of glass scattered about. I can take a better picture if you need more information. I didn't 'see' the camera get dropped. The kids were taking pictures, and, when I got the camera back, it had the spar. I didn't know who did it and they didn't say. It was, of course, my fault for letting 10 year olds use my camera ... but that's a foregone conclusion. They were playing on boulders and snapping pictures so I can only assume they dropped it (or swung it into the rocks). That might be too much detail - but - I wonder - would a filter have prevented this crack? |
