Oops dropped camera

[westguy76]

Actually Dad dropped the camera, lens busted but it looks like it will snap back together, doesn't look broke.!? Any body have any experience with this what it would take to repair, and if I need to, where to take it in the Houston area.
Thanks

I think that's going to have to go back to Nikon. Might check with a local shop first, but...

I have had to return a lens for repair. It took about two weeks to get it back. What lens is it? Do you have it insured? It might be better economically to just buy a new one.

After looking at it closer it definitely would need to go in for repair ribbons tore. Checking on that lense warranty had one at one time

The warranty won't do you any good if it was dropped. Insurance will though. You can get it through your homeowners. Check out the Nikon service website. You can ship the lens to them and they will give you a repair estimate. Make your repair/replace decision then.
